Rountree's Aquatic Animal Sound Library

 

I have a small collection of sound of aquatic animals other than fishes. For fish sounds go to the Fish Sound Library. Over the years I have auditioned many fish species, and some invertebrates, from many marine and freshwater habitats. This library of sounds of miscellaneous animals I've recorded including pink river dolphin, Amazonian Manatee, American Beaver, etc., and some that I've auditioned that did not produce sounds. Note that auditioning of crabs and turtles in the field is often problematic and likely to have a poor success rate. Species marked as silent during auditions do not indicate the species is mute, only that the specimens examined did not produce sounds which can happen for many reasons. The list below is sorted by scientific Order, Family and Species. Click on the links to go to the species information.
