“…It is determined that the species has a highly developed swim bladder. Similarly, Picciulin et al (2016) stated that the swim bladder of the species has a highly developed (Figure 3), it can make sounds using the muscles in the lower parts and they can establish social relationships with other individuals around them. There may be some changes in the morphometric characters of the fish after adaptation of a fish species to different environmental conditions (Blackith and Albrecht, 1959;Avşar, 1995).…”

In this study, the morphological characteristics and length-weight relationships of Sciaena umbra (Linnaeus, 1758) belonging to the Sciaenidae family, which is represented by five species in the Mediterranean basin and two species in the Black Sea, were investigated. Sampling was carried out in the Black Sea Region (Samsun, Ordu, Giresun, Trabzon) between March 2019 and February 2020. A total 54 of individuals were sampled and 15 different metric measurements were performed in each sample to determine their morphological characteristics. The mean total length and weight were estimated as 357.8 mm (117-580) and 845.3 g (16.4-2485.1), respectively. Total length was compared with morphometric characters and the lowest ratio was found with eye diameter (4.3%) and the highest ratio was with anal distance (59.9%). In the relation between the total length and morphological characters of the highest and the lowest correlation were observed in dorsal distance with r 2 =0.993 and the anal height with r 2 =0.938. A strong correlation (r 2 = 0.993) was found between the total length and weight relationship and the growth was positive allometric b> 3. This paper reports the first documented of morphometric characteristics of the species. It is considered to contribute to fisheries biology and international scientific literature.

‘Posidonia meadows calling’: a ubiquitous fish sound with monitoring potential

In the Mediterranean Sea, the seagrass Posidonia oceanica plays a key ecological role, and is protected by a range of legislation. Standard Posidonia monitoring programmes generally focus on the plant at different spatial and short temporal scales, without considering the organisms dependent on the ecosystem. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has a high potential to non-intrusively monitor biological activities and biodiversity at high temporal resolution, and to assess ecosystem health. This is particularly relevant considering that Posidonia meadows host numerous sound-producing fish species. In this study, bottommoored hydrophones were deployed in nine Western Mediterranean meadows covering a distance of more than 200 km to identify acoustic features potentially relevant to monitor this critical habitat. Among eight identified fish sound categories, we found a single type of sound (that we will refer to as /kwa/) dominating the soundscape of Posidonia meadows over a time span of 7 months. Compared to other low-frequency sounds, the /kwa/ presented unique characteristics that suggest it is produced by a fish via fast contracting muscles. The /kwa/ was the only sound detectable under anthropogenic noise conditions, and little affected by it. Cluster analyses performed on 13 acoustic features revealed a high degree of call diversity. /Kwa/ diversity, combined with its large-scale (all meadows), long-term (7 months) occurrence and low noise interference, make the /kwa/ a promising candidate for PAM of Posidonia meadows. Furthermore, variability in acoustic features suggests a central role of the /kwa/ in communication. Overall, this work sets the basis for establishing the relevance of the /kwa/ in monitoring P. oceanica meadows and developing PAM techniques for this critical habitat.

“…Longer pulses in U. canosai derive from the large number of cycles per pulse, more than in C. guatucupa and M. furnieri but fewer than in P. cromis (Tellechea et al ., 2010 b ; Locascio & Mann, ), which has intrinsic muscles. Interestingly, the congeneric U. cirrosa from Europe also produces pulses with long durations averaging 40 ms; its amplitude peaks early in the pulse, which then appears to decrease exponentially (Picculin et al ., ). Longer pulses with multiple cycles indicate multiple muscle contractions per pulse (Connaughton et al ., ) and this feature could help females differentiate signals between sympatric sciaenids.…”

“…Sounds from only a small fraction of the 270 species of sciaenids have been described, mostly from species that inhabit eastern North American waters (Ramcharitar et al, ). Field‐recorded sounds have been verified using voluntary sounds recorded in captivity from a small number of sciaenids including weakfish Cynoscion regalis (Bloch & Schneider 1801), speckled trout Cynoscion nebulosus (Cuvier 1830), Atlantic croaker Micropogonias undulatus (L. 1766), whitemouth croaker Micropogonias furnieri (Desmarest 1823), red drum Sciaenops ocellatus (L. 1766) and P. cromis (L. 1766) from the Atlantic coast (Fish & Mowbray, ; Saucier & Baltz, ; Luczkovich et al ., ; Connaughton et al ., ; Fine & Schrinel, ; Tellechea et al ., 2010 a , b ; Parmentier et al ., ; Montie et al ., , ), the orangemouth corvina Cynoscion xanthulus Jordan & Gilbert 1882 and white seabass Atractoscion nobilis (Ayres 1860) from the Pacific coast (Fish & Cummings, ; Aalbers & Drawbridge, ; Aalbers & Sepulveda, ), the brown meagre Sciaena umbra L. 1758 and the shi drum Umbrina cirrosa (L. 1758) from Europe (Lagardère & Mariani, ; Picculin et al ., , ), Japanese croaker Argyrosomus japonicus (Temminck & Schlegel 1843) and blackspotted croaker Protonibea diacanthus (Lacépède 1802) from Taiwan (Ueng et al ., ; Mok et al ., ) and A. japonicus from Australia (Parsons et al ., ).…”

Disturbance and advertisement calls of the Argentine croaker Umbrina canosai were recorded from coastal Uruguayan waters. Dissections indicate typical sciaenid extrinsic swimbladder muscles present exclusively in males. Disturbance calls were produced when captive U. canosai were startled, chased with a net or grabbed by the tail. Calls were unusual for sciaenids because each pulse consisted of multiple cycles. The number of cycles per pulse and dominant frequency did not change with U. canosai size, but pulse duration and interpulse interval increased. Advertisement calls were recorded from unseen choruses in the field and confirmed with captive individuals in a large tank. Advertisement calls were recorded throughout the known range of the species in Uruguay indicating a continuous belt of spawning populations. Tank recordings of the same individuals permitted explicit comparisons between the two calls. Advertisement call pulses averaged 2·4 more cycles (11·0-8·6) although pulses of both calls were basically similar as were durations and dominant frequencies. Pulse number, however, differed markedly, averaging 13·6 and 3·4 pulses for disturbance and advertisement calls respectively. Furthermore, disturbance calls were produced as a rapid series with an interpulse interval of 26-31 ms whereas advertisement call patterns were less stereotyped and ranged from <100 to 450 ms. Multicycle pulses distinguished U. canosai from other sympatric sciaenids.
