Fish Ecology
Do fish make sounds? What do they sound like? Why do they make sounds? These questions are answered in a e-book which can be downloaded here. Writen in 2005, the book describes passive acoustics and its applications to fisheries and the exploration of the seas. The book is suitable for kids grades 5-12, but has been popular with college students and researchers around the world. It includes audio and video clips of fish sounds and fish behavior. A glossery is included with definitions of words highlighted in bold text. To use the book, first download it to your computer and then open with any pdf reader like acrobat. The pdf document includes webpage links to sounds and video which will play if you are connected to the internet. Some links may not work if the pdf opens in your browser, so its better to save it to your pc.
