Research team from the FishBioacoustics lab, including Raquel Vasconcelos and Clara Amorim from MARE and Daniel Alves and Paulo Fonseca from CE3C, has conducted the first study to demonstrate how the auditory processing of vocalizations develops alongside sound production in a fish species. The study, titled Auditory representation of conspecific calls improves throughout ontogeny in a singing fish , was published in Biology Letters (2025). The article can be accessed here .

We are pleased to announce the opening of two Research Fellowships under Special Regime (BI-RE)  within the scope of the international project “Fish Vibes – Vibrational sensing and production in fishes: investigations of the underwater vibroscape”  (HFSP RESEARCH GRANT – RGP018/2025), funded by the International Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) . Both fellowships are hosted by FCiências.ID – Associação para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento de Ciências , wi

We are looking for a Research Trainee holding a Master’s Degree to participate in the AquaPLAN project. This project investigates how aquatic pollution from light and noise affects biodiversity. Detailed information about this exciting job opportunity, its prerequisites, and the significance of the AquaPLAN project is provided below. The AquaPLAN Project AquaPLAN is a Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action funded by the European Union . Running from January 2024 to D

As part of the #CoastNetInfra project, hydrophones were recently installed at three locations in the Tagus Estuary, strengthening the passive acoustic monitoring network of this research infrastructure. This deployment continues the work started under the #MIGRACORV and #FISHNOISE projects, which have been studying underwater sound to better understand marine life in the estuary. The acoustic recordings collected so far have made it possible to study vocal fish species, speci
