Fish Bioacoustics

The study of how fish make and respond to sound has important implications for communication, physiology, behavior, and commercial techniques. This new definitive volume on fish auditory systems is written for both investigators in basic research on fish bioacoustics as well as investigators in applied aspects of fisheries and resource management. The authors explore how fish detect and process signals and demonstrate how bioacoustics is used to understand and affect fish behavior. Topics include structure, physiology, localization, and acoustic behavior. The book also covers applied topics such as the use of sound to detect and locate fish.
