“…Our species-specific spectral analyses are in agreement with the sound identifications based on captive or in situ recordings of these fishes by other investigators. The species-specific nature of these calls have been previously described via spectrograms in other studies: Fish and Mowbray (1970) described the calls and provided spectrograms of silver perch, weakfish, and red drum recorded in captivity; Guest and Lasswell (1978) showed a spectrogram of red drum recorded in captivity; Mok and Gilmore (1983) characterized the calls of silver perch and spotted seatrout in situ; Connaughton and Taylor (1996) and Connaughton et al (1997Connaughton et al ( , 2000 described the pattern and mechanism of sound production by weakfish in captivity; Perkins (2001) described the drumming sound of weakfish in situ and distinguished it from the chattering sounds initially described by Fish and Mowbray (1970) as being produced by weakfish but subsequently confirmed by Mann et al (1997) and Sprague and Luczkovich (2001) as being produced by striped cusk-eels Ophidion marginatum; Gilmore (2003) described the spectral characteristics of spotted seatrout calls in situ; and Sprague et al (2000) described the spectrograms, oscillograms, and average power spectra of the sciaenids studied here used the same captive recordings used in this paper, but different in situ recordings).…”

“…Their sounds are used in communication during reproduction and aggressive encounters and as disturbance calls (Fish and Mowbray 1970;Guest and Lasswell 1978;Connaughton and Taylor 1996;Gilmore 2003). Worldwide, there are over 280 species of sciaenids and most of them produce sounds, although only a few species' sounds have been thoroughly documented (Fish and Mowbray 1970).…”

“…One area that is still problematic for active acoustic approaches is remote species identification (Horne 2000); a solution is passive acoustic approaches, which can be used to identify species . Passive acoustics also has a long history in fish biology (Tower 1908;Burkenroad 1931;Fish and Mowbray 1970;Mok and Gilmore 1983;Luczkovich et al 1999Luczkovich et al , 2000 but is not widely used by fishery biologists. In passive acoustics, low-frequency sounds (,10 kHz) produced by certain species of soundproducing (soniferous) fishes are used to determine species identity and use of particular habitats (Luczko- vich et al 1999).…”

“…There are many commercially and recreationally significant fishery species that make sounds; over 700 species are currently described as soniferous (Kaatz 2002). At least 15 species of soniferous fishes occur in estuaries of the southeastern USA, representing eight families: Ariidae, Batrachoididae, Blenniidae, Carangidae, Gobiidae, Haemulidae, Lutjanidae, Sparidae, and Sciaenidae (Burkenroad 1931;Fish and Mowbray 1970;Myrberg 1981;Mok and Gilmore 1983;Gilmore 2003).…”

Abstract.-Sounds produced by spawning fishes in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, have been recorded both under captive conditions and in hydrophone and sonobuoy field surveys. These sounds, produced by males, are species specific, are associated with spawning, and are most likely used for advertisement to attract females. Sounds can be discriminated by use of spectral analysis (oscillograms and spectrograms) of recordings, and the peak frequencies produced by each species can be correlated with species and fish size. Sonobuoys were used for passive acoustic surveys, which were ''sound truthed'' from recordings of captive fishes to determine the timing and location of spawning sites for four species in the family Sciaenidae: red drum Sciaenops ocellatus, spotted seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus, weakfish C. regalis, and silver perch Bairdiella chrysoura. During May-September 1998, sounds were first detected in the early evening, increased in loudness after sunset, and ended by sunrise. Weakfish and silver perch were heard predominantly at inlet locations in May and June, whereas spotted seatrout (peak drumming in July) and red drum (peak drumming in September) were heard predominantly at lower-salinity river mouth locations in western Pamlico Sound. Passive acoustic surveys can be used to determine critical spawning habitats of sciaenid fishes; such surveys have revealed interesting insights into fish behavior and should be integrated into ocean observing systems.

Numerous chameleon species possess an out‐pocketing of the trachea known as the gular pouch. After surveying more than 250 specimens, representing nine genera and 44 species, we describe two different morphs of the gular pouch. Species of the genera Bradypodion and Chamaeleo, as well as Trioceros goetzei, all possess a single gular pouch (morph one) formed from ventral expansion of soft tissue where the larynx and trachea meet. Furcifer oustaleti and Furcifer verrucosus possess from one to four gular pouches (morph two) formed by the expansion of soft tissue between sequential hyaline cartilage rings of the trachea. In Trioceros melleri, examples of both morphs of the gular pouch were observed. Morphometric data are presented for 100 animals representing eight species previously known to possess a gular pouch and two additional species, Bradypodion thamnobates and Bradypodion transvaalense. In the species with the absolutely and relatively largest gular pouch, Chamaeleo calyptratus, a significant difference was found between sexes in its width and volume, but not its length. In C. calyptratus, we show that an inflated gular pouch is in contact with numerous hyoid muscles and the tongue. Coupled with the knowledge that C. calyptratus generates vibrations from the throat region, we posit that the tongue (M. accelerator linguae and M. hyoglossus) and supporting hyoid muscles (i.e., Mm. sternohyoideus profundus et superficialis and Mm. mandibulohyoideus) are involved in the production of vibrations to produce biotremors that are amplified by the inflated gular pouch and used in substrate‐borne communication.
