Sound Production by the Satinfin Shiner, Notropis analostanus , and Related Fishes

Howard E. Winn, John F. Stout

Abstract

Several sounds are produced by minnows. Only one is not of purely mechanical origin, and it is classed as a "biological" sound. This sound is variously produced by males when fighting and chasing as well as during courtship. Females emit a similar sound. Testosterone injections and elevated temperatures result in an increased rate of biological sound emission.
