Singing Fishes: The Acoustic Ecology of Australian Fish Choruses

Passive acoustic monitoring of fish choruses can provide information on the distribution, habitat use, spawning dynamics, behaviour, local abundance, and ecological interactions of fish populations.

Description
Summary:Passive acoustic monitoring of fish choruses can provide information on the distribution, habitat use, spawning dynamics, behaviour, local abundance, and ecological interactions of fish populations. The primary focus of this thesis was to map the contribution of fish choruses to Australian underwater soundscapes and investigate the ecology of these phenomena. This thesis has significantly advanced understanding of fish choruses in Australian waters, highlighting their ecological importance and providing a foundation for future research and management efforts.
