The Fish Sound Project Blog

​The ocean is full of intriguing sounds! Whales, seals, wind, rain, boats are all important contributors to the ocean soundscape. But did you know that many fishes also make sounds? A team of scientists is on a journey to discover the sounds produced by the coastal fishes off British Columbia, Canada.

Building an autonomous video camera system that can record continuously for several days has been challenging. But things are coming together. We finally tested our first prototype in the field. Tristan took the system out to Madrona Point, close to Nanaimo. He and Courtney, his diving partner, dove and placed the camera prototype and an acoustic recorder at a site covered in Yelloweye and Quillback rockfish.

The test was very successful ! The camera worked well and we gathered data that will allow us to improve the system. Very encouraging! Also very excited to report that we recorded our first rockfish sounds!
