Sound production in the Meagre,Argyrosomus regius(Asso, 1801): intraspecific variability associated with size, sex and context

Background Many fish taxa produce sound in voluntary and in disturbance contexts but information on the full acoustic repertoire is lacking for most species. Yet, this knowledge is critical to enable monitoring fish populations in nature through acoustic monitoring. Methods In this study we characterized the sounds emitted during disturbance and voluntary contexts by juvenile and adult meagre, Argyrosomus regius , in laboratory conditions....
