It turns out the answer is a long and diverse list of sounds that includes the grunt of an Arctic cod. We talk to leading experts in fish sounds and fish physiology to explain how Arctic cod produce their grunts and begin to understand why they grunt in the first place.   \nThe Codcast is produced by John William Last, in association with the Juanes Lab at the University of Victoria.\nEpisode Highlights:\n- An introduction to the study of fish sounds \n- Exploring the sounds that fish make, how these sounds are produced and what they are used for\n- Fun fact: Fish farts are actually fish sounds\n- Getting to the bottom of sound production for Arctic cod \n Researchers Interviewed:\nRodney Roundtree: A.K.A. The Fish Listener. I have been a pioneer in passive acoustics for almost 3 decades and have maintained a web page on fish ecology since 1998 (www.fishecology.org) including a library of fish sounds and a children’s book. I have conduced research in the deep-sea, Amazon jungle, coastal estuaries, and many freshwater habitats. I received my Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 1992, and am now retired, but continue passive acoustic research in many areas. \nEric Parmentier: I research the functional and evolutionary morphology of fish species. I am a professor at the University of Liege in Belgium.

She studied cetacean occurrence around Vancouver Island with DFO, and then returned to UVic to study fish sounds. She described for the first time the sounds of Arctic cod, sablefish, and walleye pollock, and worked with an amazing team to create the FishSounds.net website. Her latest research revolved around the Arctic marine...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vGqAZtp2BoZFAB217t0K4QRZarLue8K-j46TTwub53I/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85M2Y1/Nzc3ODA1NWU5MDlm/ZDhkZDJhNDdhZTFk/ZDRkOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
