"All species are capable of producing sounds, but acoustic data are lacking, particularly for Atlantic species whose sound mechanism was unknown until now... researchers demonstrated a novel sound apparatus, called the sphaera sonica. It consists of two globular masses of tissue surrounded by fast sonic muscles... like spheres used in swimming pools to generate waves"

@animalculum Cool study. Thanks for sharing.

@animalculum Fascinating! In school, we still had learnt that all fish would be mute.
Quite late, thanks to new technologies, I learnt about their #sounds and #communication and about the #evolution from mute fish into "talking" ones. https://www.fisheyecollaborative.org/research/uncovering-150-million-years-of-fish-soundsThey have an interesting sound library of #fish: https://www.fisheyecollaborative.org/library
