The importance of underwater sounds to gadoid fishes
The codfish family includes more than 500 species that vary greatly in their abundance in areas like the North Sea and are widely fished. Gadoids (codfish) gather at particular locations to spawn, where they exhibit complex reproductive behavior with visual and acoustic displays. Calls have been des...

The codfish family includes more than 500 species that vary greatly in their abundance in areas like the North Sea and are widely fished.
