British Columbia Researchers Identify Fish Species Sounds

University of Victoria researchers reported Jan. 9, 2025 that they used underwater microphones near Bamfield in Barkley Sound to record and classify unique sounds from eight fish species. They trained a machine-learning model to distinguish species-specific knocks, grunts and croaks—including five rockfish species, lingcod, kelp greenling and pile perch—enabling potential non-invasive monitoring for conservation and fisheries management.
