“…Another interesting aspect of this group of fishes is their ability to produce sounds (Parmentier et al 2003a,b, 2008, Kéver et al 2014. In captivity, series of pulsed sounds have been recorded for Carapus boraborensis (Kaup, 1856), Carapus homei (Richardson, 1846), and Encheliophis gracilis (Bleeker, 1856), only after an individual had entered a sea cucumber that was already occupied by a conspecific or a heterospecific organism (Parmentier et al 2003b, Lagardère et al 2005). In the Mediterranean Carapus acus (Brünnich 1768), pulses were recorded when the fish was swimming in the observation tank, whereas Carapus mourlani (Petit, 1934) produced calls when competing for access to the oral aperture of a sea star (Parmentier et al 2006a).…”
