🐟New Publication🔉

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...!
A bar plot showing the number of assessed designatable fish taxa that are actively soniferous, as well as the number of designatable taxa that had soundscapes and sound production mentioned in conservation documents produced by COSEWIC (Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) and SARA (Species at Risk Act) and a second bar plot showing the number of actively soniferous designatable taxa that had at least one anthropogenic stressor mentioned as threats, as well as those that had noise pollution acknowledged as a potential threat in the same documents.

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!

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.

We made a #bioacoustics colouring book! 🎨🐟 Download What Sound Does a Fish Make!? at fishsounds.net/educate.js for a fun at-home activity. This project features art by Sarah Jim—explore her amazing work at sarahjimstudio.com!
The cover page of the book by Hailey Shafer, Hailey, Davies, Sarah Jim, Audrey Looby, and Kieran Cox, with three coloured fish. An example colouring page showing herring in a kelp forest.

Join me and @fishsounds.bsky.social as we push past the bulrushes and dive below the lily pads into the bizarre and mysterious underwater acoustic world of pond sounds.

We also dodge hippos and crocs as we venture up the River Gambia. 🦛🐊

Yes, that would be wonderful, thank you! We're still learning how to use this platform, so very excited to know there's this feed, too.
