🔉 Major FishSounds Website Update!!
The beta version of the new FishSounds.net is live now and will be finalized over the next month. Most of the updates won’t necessarily be noticeable on first glance, so a few of the more consequential changes are outlined below.

First fish sounds recorded in the Southern Ocean by FishSounds friend, Fannie Shabangu, et al.! doi.org/10.1002/rse2...
Since our first review didn't identify any soniferous fishes from the Antarctic, we are so happy that folks are exploring this great unknown in fish #bioacoustics!

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South Af....

Whales sing, orcas squeal, and sea turtles croak. But sharks are more the strong, silent type. Now, researchers report the first evidence that sharks make sounds, too.
