Highlights: Low-cost hydrophone networks and sound analysis with artificial intelligence has made it possible to discover an almost completely unknown world off the Indian coast of Goa. From guttural songs of the fish Terapon theraps at sunset to the moon choruses of plankton fish to the dull snaps of tiger shrimp: the animals of the sea are not mute but produce a variety of sounds of all kinds. The new data have been integrated into the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds (GLUBS)

From the guttural songs of the fish Terapon theraps at sunset to the moon choruses of plankton fish to the dull snaps of tiger shrimp: the animals of the sea are not mute but produce a variety of sounds of all kinds. Low-cost hydrophone networks and sound analysis with artificial intelligence has made it possible to discover an almost completely unknown world off the Indian coast of Goa. The study, published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, was coordinated by the group de Miles Parsons, of the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences.

When we talk about sounds and songs of the sea we immediately think of whales and dolphins, but the underwater world is actually much noisier and more varied than you think and in recent years large online archives have been born in which sounds of many aquatic species are collected.

Among the important new research work in the creation of these catalogs is research coordinated by Parson, who used a network of low-cost hydrophones along the coral reef off Goa, in India, and identified dozens of hitherto little-known sounds such as guttural chants emitted by the Terapon theraps, that intensify at sunset, or the nocturnal choruses of the many fish that feed on plankton that seem to be influenced by the Moon and many other sounds of which it has not yet been possible to understand the origin.



The new data have been integrated into the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds (GLUBS), of which many excerpts can also be heard on YouTube, and can provide valuable information to learn about biodiversity and the state of ecosystems almost impossible to monitor with other techniques. A sector still little explored but that if enriched with contributions from all over the world could prove very useful for the protection of underwater environments.
