Cross-referencing unidentified fish sound data sets to unravel sound sources

New publication titled "Cross-referencing unidentified fish sound data sets to unravel sound sources: a case study from the Temperate Northern Atlantic, part of the Research Topic "Detection and Characterization of Unidentified Underwater Biological Sounds, Their Spatiotemporal Patterns and Possible Sources".

Unidentified underwater biological sounds can offer valuable insights into the local acoustic community, serving as a biodiversity and ecosystem health indicator, even if their source is unknown. However, as databases of passive acoustic recordings and unidentified fish sound types expand, comparing multiple fish acoustic communities can shed light on sound sources and offer new research perspectives. This study illustrates how comparing fish acoustic communities across different regions in the Temperate Northern Atlantic can enhance our understanding of shared sound sources and underscores the importance of identified and unidentified fish sound libraries. 🌊🐠🔊
