“…Fish hearing these cries can localize their source (Fay and Edds-Walton 2000) and may acquire information about predator identity. Moreover, the swimbladders of large predators scatter ambient noise (wave action for example) potentially allowing nearby otophysan prey to detect and identify nearby predators (Rogers 1986;Lewis and Rogers 1996). Clearly, more information is needed on the types of sound stimuli generated by predators or startled prey to more fully explore the role of audition in mediating predator-prey interactions.…”

Fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, and glowlight tetras, Hemigrammus erythrozonus, were tested for their ability to associate predation risk with novel auditory stimuli after auditory stimuli were presented simultaneously with chemical alarm cues. Minnows and tetras gave a fright response when exposed to skin extract (alarm cue) and an artificial auditory sound stimulus, but no response to water (control) and sound, indicating that they did not have a pre-existing aversion to the auditory stimulus. When retested with sound stimuli alone, minnows and glowlight tetras that had previously been conditioned with water and sound showed no response, but those that had been conditioned with alarm cues and sound exhibited antipredator behaviour (reduced activity) in response to the auditory cue. This is the first known demonstration of learned association of an auditory cue with predation risk, and raises questions about the role of sound in mediating predator-prey interactions in fishes.

“…Echo amplitudes can then be estimated throughout the Rayleigh and geometric scattering regions. Verifying model predictions under controlled conditions is possible for resonance (Cox and Rogers, 1987; Lewis and Rogers, 1996) and geometric (Nakken and Olsen, 1977; Rose and Porter, 1996) scattering frequencies. Models used to estimate echo amplitudes are continuously evolving (see table 1 in Horne and Clay, 1998), but can generally be grouped into geometric and empirical categories.…”

Noninvasive species identification remains a long‐term goal of fishers, researchers, and resource managers who use sound to locate, map, and count aquatic organisms. Since the first biological applications of underwater acoustics, four approaches have been used singly or in combination to survey marine and freshwater environments: passive sonar; prior knowledge and direct sampling; echo statistics from high‐frequency measures; and matching models to low‐frequency measures. Echo amplitudes or targets measured using any sonar equipment are variable signals. Variability in reflected sound is influenced by physical factors associated with the transmission of sound through a compressible fluid, and by biological factors associated with the location, reflective properties, and behaviour of a target. The current trend in acoustic target identification is to increase the amount of information collected through increases in frequency bandwidth or in the number of acoustic beams. Exclusive use of acoustics to identify aquatic organisms reliably will require a set of statistical metrics that discriminate among a wide range of similar body types at any packing density, and incorporation of these algorithms in routine data processing.

“…The LC is proposed to translate sound pressure fluctuations from the swim bladder horns to fluid motion in the lateral line canal and also secondary particle motions to the ear (Webb, 1998) that potentially enhance the perception of the acoustic field during social interactions (Tricas et al, 2006). The gas-filled swim bladder and swim bladder horns are thought to be relatively insensitive to infrasonic sound pressure and have complex resonant properties at higher frequencies between 100-2000 Hz that can vary considerably among species and with depth (Fine et al, 2009;Lewis and Rogers, 1996;Sand and Hawkins, 1973). Below, we discuss the detection of acoustic fields by the ear and lateral line in the context of butterflyfish social interactions, and the potential contributions to each by the LC.…”

Fish produce context-specific sounds during social communication, but it is not known how acoustic behaviors have evolved in relation to specializations of the auditory system. Butterflyfishes (family Chaetodontidae) have a well-defined phylogeny and produce pulsed communication sounds during social interactions on coral reefs. Recent work indicates that two sound production mechanisms exist in the bannerfish clade and that other mechanisms are used in the Chaetodon clade, which is distinguished by an auditory specialization, the laterophysic connection (LC). Here, we determine the kinematic action patterns associated with sound production during social interactions in four Chaetodon subgenera and the non-laterophysic fish Forcipiger flavissimus. Some Chaetodon species share the head bob acoustic behavior with F. flavissimus, which along with other sounds in the 100-1000 Hz spectrum, are probably adequate to stimulate the ear, swim bladder or LC of a receiver fish. In contrast, only Chaetodon species produced the tail slap sound, which involves a 1-30 Hz hydrodynamic pulse that is likely to stimulate the receiver's ear and lateral line at close distances, but not the swim bladder or LC. Reconstructions of ancestral character states appear equivocal for the head bob and divergent for the tail slap acoustic behaviors. Independent contrast analysis shows a correlation between sound duration and stimulus intensity characters. The intensities of the tail slap and body pulse sounds in Chaeotodon species are correlated with body size and can provide honest communication signals. Future studies on fish acoustic communication should investigate lowfrequency and infrasound acoustic fields to understand the integrated function of the ear and lateral line, and their evolutionary patterns.
