FishSounds is an international, collaborative effort to catalog underwater sounds, centered on the website FishSounds.net. Support our work at extrweb.uvic.ca/donate/fishsounds!
We are incredibly grateful to @wildlabs.bsky.social, @diioriolucia1.bsky.social, NSERC, and many others for supporting and funding our work. We hope to continue improving in the years to come!

The admin portal will also allow us to regularly import FishBase data and export our data. Our long-term data repository on Borealis will soon be reorganized and updated to better reflect the website.

First, we now have simple and advanced search options to serve a variety of users. For our recordings, we are also in the process of implementing new visualizations, measurements, and standardized sound categories that will operate alongside the onomatopoeic names we’re all used to.

🔉 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.

We found that strategies for conserving at-risk fishes in Canada rarely consider acoustics. We propose that integrating fish sonifery and noise pollution into Canadian policies would improve species management and conservation efforts. Read more at doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...!

Browsing our #bioacoustics recordings just got easier! We've now embedded visualizations for the almost 1000 Macaulay Library recordings we link to on FishSounds. And we're hoping to improve the rest of our recording visualizations later this year!
