"We were very surprised," says David Mann, a biological oceanographer at the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science.
Mann and colleague James Locascio have 10 hydrophones anchored just off the bottom of the shallow waters of Charlotte Harbor, which is south of Tampa Bay. So little is known about fish behavior during spawning that the scientists didn't know really what to expect when they installed the system.
What they got, they say, is songs. At least to a marine biologist the fish sound like they are singing while trying to get in the reproductive mood.
To the rest of us, Mann says, the "chorus," as it is called, would sound more like "humming, or grunting."
