“…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 ., ).…”
