Many fish species use active sound production for communication in numerous behaviors.
Additionally, likely all fish can make passive or incidental sounds that may also serve some
signal functions. Despite the ecological importance of fish sounds, their evident passive
acoustic monitoring applications, and extensive endeavors to document soniferous fish
diversity, the fields of bioacoustics and ichthyology have historically lacked an easily
accessible, global inventory of known fish sound production. To alleviate this limitation, we …
