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.

Naming the array

Once upon a time while deploying instruments at Ogden Point:
  • Brian: "Hey Xav, did you give a name to your hydrophone and camera array ?"
  • Me (Xavier): "No, I have not really thought about it, but Morgan said we should call it the Xav array."
 
(laughs)
  • Brian: "Well, you know, the A and the V could stand for Audio/Video. Not sure about the X though..."
  • Me: "Hum.. that is kind of cool."
  • Stan: "What about eXperimental for the X ?"
  • Everyone: "Uhhh nice!"
​
That's it, we now have a name! It is now the eXperimental Audio Video array, aka the XAV array ;-)

Team work!
