A comparative study of hearing ability in fishes: the auditory brainstem response approach
TLDR
Comparison between methods revealed the advantages of this technique: rapid evaluation of hearing in untrained fishes, and no limitations on repeated testing of animals.

Sound-Generating Mechanisms in Fishes: A Unique Diversity in Vertebrates
TLDR
Fishes have evolved the largest diversity of sonic organs among vertebrates and sound-generating mechanisms may be similarly developed in males and females (croaking gourami) or sexually dimorphic, in which case they are always better developed in females.
The ontogenetic development of auditory sensitivity, vocalization and acoustic communication in the labyrinth fish Trichopsis vittata
TLDR
It is indicated that auditory sensitivity develops prior to the ability to vocalize and that vocalization occurs prior toThe ability to communicate acoustically.

    Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries
  • 18 January 2013
TLDR
The AEP-technique was frequently used to study the effects of high sound/noise levels on hearing in particular by measuring the temporary threshold shifts after exposure to various noise types (white noise, pure tones and anthropogenic noises) and was successfully utilized to study acoustic communication.

Diversity in ambient noise in European freshwater habitats: noise levels, spectral profiles, and impact on fishes.
TLDR
Comparisons between the habitat noise types presented here and prior data on auditory masking indicate that fishes with enhanced hearing abilities are only moderately masked in stagnant, quiet habitats, whereas they would be considerably masked in fast-flowing habitats.

Sound‐generating and ‐detecting motor system in catfish: Design of swimbladder muscles in doradids and pimelodids

    The Anatomical record
  • 1 July 2001
TLDR
The fine structure of the TT reveals that contractions most likely prevent transmission of swimbladder vibrations to the inner ear via the Weberian ossicles during vocalization, suggesting faster contraction properties and greater resistence to fatigue compared with sonic muscles.

Effects of ship noise on the detectability of communication signals in the Lusitanian toadfish
TLDR
This study provides the first evidence that fishes' auditory sensitivity can be impaired by ship noise and that acoustic communication, which is essential during agonistic encounters and mate attraction, might be restricted in coastal environments altered by human activity.

Diversity in noise-induced temporary hearing loss in otophysine fishes.
TLDR
The results indicate that hearing specialists are affected differently by noise exposure and that acoustic communication might be restricted in noisy habitats.
