Discrimination between high and low repetition rates of ultrasonic pulses by the cod

Cod were trained to detect a shift in the repetition rate of intense ultrasonic pulses (approximately 210 dB re 1 μPa). For cod exposed to predation by toothed whales, this ability may provide information to guide evasive manoeuvres.
