Coordinated gas release among the physostomous fish sprat (Sprattus sprattus)

Abstract Previous experimental studies suggest that the production of sound associated with expelling gas from an open swimbladder may play a role in communication. This would suggest non-random gas release. We used deployed echosounders to study patterns of gas release among a fjord population of s...
