“…It was apparent that fish choruses from other sciaenid species and P. notatus peaked after dusk in May and June (Fish & Cummings, 1972; Mok & Gilmore, 1983; Locascio & Mann, 2008) resulting in reduced signal‐to‐noise ratios and a reduced capacity for aural detection of A. nobilis sounds on raw audio files. Because the dominant frequency of A. nobilis sounds (<250 Hz) was lower than the acoustic energy generated by chorusing sciaenids (400–700 Hz) (Fish, 1948; Fish & Cummings, 1972), rectification of raw audio files using a custom EQ filter considerably improved signal‐to‐noise ratios within the bandwidth of 50–250 Hz (Figs 3 and 4). Resonant energy from P. notatus chorusing, however, was not completely reduced because their fundamental frequency ranged from 90 to 150 Hz depending on the water temperature (Brantley & Bass, 1994).…”

“…The white seabass Atractoscion nobilis (Ayres 1860) is a Pacific member of the family Sciaenidae that is well known for its capacity to produce low‐frequency sound (Fish, 1948). Recent work has identified the distinct series of drum‐roll and thud sounds that male A. nobilis produce exclusively during broadcast spawning events (Aalbers & Drawbridge, 2008).…”

This study reports the use of a long-term acoustic recording system (LARS) to remotely monitor white seabass Atractoscion nobilis spawning sounds at three sites along the southern California coastline, adjacent to Camp Pendleton. On the basis of previous studies of A. nobilis sound production relative to periods of known spawning activity, LARS were set to continuously record ambient sounds for a 2 h period around sunset from April to June 2009. Acoustic analyses identified A. nobilis courtship sounds on 89, 28 and 45% of the days at the three locations, respectively. From 474 h of acoustic data, spawning-related sounds (chants) were detected on 19 occasions in 2009 with an additional 11 spawning chants recorded during a 2007 validation period. Most spawning chants occurred within 30 min of sunset during the months of May and June at a mean ±S.D. surface temperature of 18.2 ± 1.2° C. Consecutive daily spawning activity was not apparent at any sites in 2009. Atractoscion nobilis spawning chants were recorded at all three sites, suggesting that shallow rocky reefs which support kelp forests provide suitable A. nobilis spawning habitat. Results confirm the utility of passive acoustic recorders for identifying A. nobilis spawning periods and locations.

“…These result from collision of the buccal teeth, e.g. in Balistes capriscus (Vincent, 1963), or occur during grating of pharyngeal teeth in B. capriscus, Balistes vetula and Odonus niger (Norman, 1931;Fish, 1948;Fish et al, 1952;Moulton, 1958). Because these sounds are mainly heard while crushing mollusks and hard corals (Fish, 1948(Fish, , 1954Tavolga, 1965;Tricas and Boyle, 2014), it is unclear whether they are used for communication.…”

In some triggerfishes (O. niger, B. capriscus), sounds could also result from movement of the spine of the first dorsal fin, which can be locked into an erect position (Fish et al, 1952;Schneider, 1961).…”

Sounds of many species have been recorded and a variety of sound-producing mechanisms have been proposed, including teeth stridulation, collision of the buccal teeth and movements of the fins. The best-supported hypothesis involves movements of the pectoral fin against the lateral part of the swimbladder, called a drumming membrane. In this study, we describe for the first time the sounds made by the blackbar triggerfish Rhinecanthus aculeatus, which are like short drum rolls with an average duration of 85 ms, 193 Hz dominant frequency and 136 dB SPL level at 3 cm distance.The sounds are a series of pulses that result from alternate sweeping movements of the right and left pectoral fins, which push a system of three scutes that are forced against the swimbladder wall. Pulses from each fin occur in consecutive pairs. High-speed videos indicate that each pulse consists of two cycles. The first part of each cycle corresponds to the inward buckling of the scutes, whereas the second part of the cycle corresponds to an apparent passive recoil of the scutes and swimbladder wall. This novel sound production mechanism is probably found in many members of Balistidae because these peculiar scutes occur in other species in the family.Comparison of sound characteristics from fishes of different sizes shows that dominant frequency decreases with size in juveniles but not in adults.

“…Pharyngeal tooth stridulation of Caranx hippos has been described (Burkenroad, 1931;Fish, 1948;Moulton, 1958), and Fish (1948Fish ( , 1954 describes the stridulating sounds of a number of other carangids. The pharyngeal tooth stridulation is produced more readily by young jacks hand-held gently under water (C. latus, C. hippos) than by adult jacks so treated (Moulton, 1958, p. 364); it was recorded at Bermuda from adult C. ruber held next to the hydroprone in an impounded school, and by C. crysos speared off Nonsuch Island on August 17.…”
