2	DEPTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SONIC SYSTEM IN DEEP-SEA MACROURID FISHES ON THE CONTINENTAL SLOPE Wrenn, Jonothan 01 January 2016 (has links) Work on sound production of deep-sea fishes has been limited to anatomy, and no sounds from identified species have been recorded on the continental slope. Here I examined the sonic muscles of six species in the family Macrouridae by depth (Coelorhincus carminatus, Nezumia bairdii, Coryphaenoides rupestris, Nezumia equalis, Coryphaenoides armatus, Coryphaenoides carapinus,). Due to increasingly limited food with depth, I hypothesized that sonic muscle development would decrease with depth. Sonic muscles were intrinsic and occurred in males and females. Swimbladder and sonic muscle dimensions increased linearly with fish size, but there were no clear differences with depth suggesting sound production remains important in deeper species. rattails grenadiers sound production deep-sea fish macrourids Macrouridae sonic muscle swim bladder depth analysis sexual dimorphism Biology
