HI, WBUR aired a segment on my research on Morning Edition titled “How Fish Noises Can Help Manage Species.” written by Beenish Ahmed. Read a transcript of the interview or listen to the podcast at: http://www.wbur.org/2012/05/16/fish-sounds

Think fish sounds are cool? Download a free fish sound ringtone from my web site at:
http://www.fishecology.org/soniferous/fishsongsringtones.htm
Over 20,000 downloads to date! The Fish Fart (yes fart) ringtones are by far the most popular, but the cusk-eel, toadfish and searobin sounds make much better ringtones!
Hi, check out my interview on the PBS show “Connecting Point” with Carrie Saldo.

HI, Just got back from a quick trip to the Kennebec River in Maine, USA. You may not realize just how little we know about the aquatic soundscape. We don’t have to go some place exotic like the Amazon River to make scientific discoveries. In fact we know almost nothing about the soundscape of aquatic habitats right here in the US. A quick trip to the Kennebec River in Maine illustrates this. Listen to this short soundclip from the river in Hallowell Maine (outside of Augusta), click here: Kennebec River Fish Sounds. The river is filled with unknown fish sounds at night. And a big shout out for the folks at Maple Hill Farm Inn. A great place to stay when your in the field in Hallowell, Maine!

HI, I created this blog both for my SciFund Challenge Project: Fish Sounds of the Amazon and to provide information on the study of fish sounds in general. Throughout the fundraising period I will add periodic blogs on my research on fish sounds, but will continue the blog indefinitely to describe ongoing studies of fish sounds and the aquatic soundscape. Unfortunately I will be completely cut off from outside contact during the four week expedition to the Amazon this summer, but as soon as I return I will begin blogging on my experiences Listening to Fish in the Amazon.
