“…On the other hand, the acoustic activity of A. luridus decreases around noon, reaching the lowest number of sounds emitted during the light period. This diurnal variation in the frequency of sound emission has also been described in other species (Brawn, 1961;Takemura, 1984;Nakazato & Takemura, 1987). Miyagawa & Takemura (1986) and Nakazato & Takemura (1987) suggest that the increase in the frequency of sound emission at sunrise and sunset is related to active fish feeding during these periods.…”

Adult males Abudefduf luridus produced sounds during aggressive interactions, although not all aggressive interactions were associated with sounds. Such sounds were always related to characteristic swimming movements during an aggressive display or territorial defence. The sound was a combination of several sonic pulses, with most energy concentrated towards the low end of the spectrum (from <50 to 800 Hz), and was most frequently groups of two pulses. Analysis of the pulse structure suggested that these sounds are produced by muscles acting on the swimbladder. However, the mechanism of sound production has yet to be demonstrated. Sounds were emitted throughout the 24‐h period with increased activity at sunrise and sunset.

“…By 1981, Myrberg [6] had documented sound production in more than 30 families, including: Batrachoididae, Carangidae, Scianidae, Holocentridae, and Serranidae. More recently, sounds were recorded in additional taxa, such as Carapidae [7], Ophidiidae [8,9], Chaetodontidae [10,11], Oplegnathidae [12], and Sebastidae [13]. Communication sounds are now estimated to occur in as many as 109 teleost families [14].…”

Sexual dimorphism of sonic apparatus and extreme intersexual variation of sounds in Ophidion rochei (Ophidiidae): first evidence of a tight relationship between morphology and sound characteristics in Ophidiidae

et al. 2012

BackgroundMany Ophidiidae are active in dark environments and display complex sonic apparatus morphologies. However, sound recordings are scarce and little is known about acoustic communication in this family. This paper focuses on Ophidion rochei which is known to display an important sexual dimorphism in swimbladder and anterior skeleton. The aims of this study were to compare the sound producing morphology, and the resulting sounds in juveniles, females and males of O. rochei.ResultsMales, females, and juveniles possessed different morphotypes. Females and juveniles contrasted with males because they possessed dramatic differences in morphology of their sonic muscles, swimbladder, supraoccipital crest, and first vertebrae and associated ribs. Further, they lacked the ‘rocker bone’ typically found in males. Sounds from each morphotype were highly divergent. Males generally produced non harmonic, multiple-pulsed sounds that lasted for several seconds (3.5 ± 1.3 s) with a pulse period of ca. 100 ms. Juvenile and female sounds were recorded for the first time in ophidiids. Female sounds were harmonic, had shorter pulse period (±3.7 ms), and never exceeded a few dozen milliseconds (18 ± 11 ms). Moreover, unlike male sounds, female sounds did not have alternating long and short pulse periods. Juvenile sounds were weaker but appear to be similar to female sounds.ConclusionsAlthough it is not possible to distinguish externally male from female in O. rochei, they show a sonic apparatus and sounds that are dramatically different. This difference is likely due to their nocturnal habits that may have favored the evolution of internal secondary sexual characters that help to distinguish males from females and that could facilitate mate choice by females. Moreover, the comparison of different morphotypes in this study shows that these morphological differences result from a peramorphosis that takes place during the development of the gonads.

“…The vocal families Kyphosidae and Oplegnathidae are nested within the terapontid clade. In Oplegnathus fasciatus, a pair of extrinsic muscle originates on the exoccipital and inserts on the anterior end of the swimbladder (Nakazato and Takemura, 1987). Sounds have been recorded in Kyphosus sectatrix, but the authors simply noted the sounds were made by the swimbladder (Fish and Mowbray, 1970).…”

Sound-producing mechanisms in fishes are extraordinarily diversified. We report here original mechanisms of three species from two families: the pempherid Pempheris oualensis, and the terapontids Terapon jarbua and Pelates quadrilineatus. All sonic mechanisms are built on the same structures. The rostral part of the swimbladder is connected to a pair of large sonic muscles from the head whereas the posterior part is fused with bony widenings of vertebral bodies. Two bladder regions are separated by a stretchable fenestra that allows forward extension of the anterior bladder during muscle contraction. A recoiling apparatus runs between the inner face of the anterior swimbladder and a vertebral body expansion. The elastic nature of the recoiling apparatus supports its role in helping the swimbladder to recover its initial position during sonic muscle relaxation. This system should aid fast contraction (between 100 and 250Hz) of sonic muscles. There are many differences between species in terms of the swimbladder and its attachments to the vertebral column, muscle origins, and morphology of the recoiling apparatus. The recoiling apparatus found in the phylogenetically-related families (Glaucosomatidae, Pempheridae, Terapontidae) could indicate a new character within the Percomorpharia. J.
