Scientists Think Fish Communicate
With Farts
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (UPI) -- Canadian biologists have
linked an odd underwater farting sound to bubbles coming out of a
herring's anus. No fish had been known to emit sound from its anus nor
to be capable of producing such a high-pitched noise, NewScientist.com
reported. "It sounds just like a high-pitched raspberry," says Ben
Wilson of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver,
Canada.
Wilson and his colleagues cannot be sure why herring make
this sound, but initial research suggests that it might explain the
puzzle of how shoals keep together after dark. "Surprising and
interesting" is how aquatic acoustic specialist Dennis Higgs, of the
University of Windsor in Ontario, describes the discovery. It is the
first case of a fish potentially using high frequency for communication,
he believes.
