Abstract

Many soniferous fishes live in very shallow water (less than 20 m) close to shore and in estuaries, rivers, and lakes. Often these shallow-water fishes produce transient, or pulsed, sounds containing many frequency components (Fish and Mowbray 1970; Mann et al. 1997; Sprague and Luczkovich 2001).
