Fish choruses are thought to be produced in association with fish life functions such as breeding, feeding, and aggregation. Monitoring these biological acoustic events can provide important ecological information regarding the distribution, habitat use, reproductive behaviour, biodiversity, and in some circumstances even the local abundance of fish populations. Hundreds of fish choruses have been reported around the world since the mid-1940s; however, an effort to collate fish chorus records in a publicly accessible format has yet to be made. The Australian Fish Chorus Catalogue is an inventory of the spectrographic and audio records of 301 Australian fish choruses. These records were extracted from acoustic data recorded from 83 locations in marine and estuarine waters around Australia by the Centre for Marine Science and Technology, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries, Parks Australia, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Fish chorus records were collated through the manual observation and extraction of records using the Centre for Marine Science and Technology's custom-built Characterisation of Recorded Underwater Sound MATLAB toolbox and custom-written MATLAB software. The Australian Fish Chorus Catalogue is intended to be used as a reference for future studies to gain a greater understanding of how fish contribute to Australian aquatic soundscapes, to help identify fish chorus source species, and to contribute to the future monitoring and management of Australian fish populations. Future work on this catalogue will involve the inclusion of newly identified fish choruses and the classification of choruses to identify the extent of their geographic distribution.Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeededStatement: The Australian Fish Chorus Catalogue was created through the extraction of audio and spectrographic records from acoustic recordings collected by the Centre for Marine Science and Technology (CMST), the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI), Parks Australia, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 83 locations around Australia. Acoustic recordings were collected using CMST-DSTO underwater sound recorders (https://cmst.curtin.edu.au/products/underwater-sound-recorder/) and SoundTrap ST202s, ST300s, and ST500s recorders (Ocean Instruments, Auckland, NZ). The data was pre-processed and analysed using the CHaracterisation Of Recorded Underwater Sound (CHORUS) MATLAB toolbox (The MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA, USA). All spectrographic and audio records were extracted using the CHORUS Graphic User Interface and custom-written MATLAB software.&rft.creator=Hawkins, Lauren Amy &rft.creator=Erbe, Christine &rft.creator=Becker, Alistair &rft.creator=Browne, Ciara E. &rft.creator=McCordic, Jessica &rft.creator=McWilliam, Jamie &rft.creator=Parnum, Iain M. &rft.creator=Parsons, Miles James &rft.creator=Rivero, Natalie &rft.creator=Ward, Rhianne &rft.creator=White-Kiely, Dylan &rft.creator=McCauley, Robert D. &rft.date=2023&rft.coverage=westlimit=113.62;

Brief description

A fish chorus occurs when many individual fish vocalise continuously for a prolonged period, increasing background sound levels within a characteristic frequency band. Fish choruses are thought to be produced in association with fish life functions such as breeding, feeding, and aggregation. Monitoring these biological acoustic events can provide important ecological information regarding the distribution, habitat use, reproductive behaviour, biodiversity, and in some circumstances even the local abundance of fish populations. Hundreds of fish choruses have been reported around the world since the mid-1940s; however, an effort to collate fish chorus records in a publicly accessible format has yet to be made. The Australian Fish Chorus Catalogue is an inventory of the spectrographic and audio records of 301 Australian fish choruses. These records were extracted from acoustic data recorded from 83 locations in marine and estuarine waters around Australia by the Centre for Marine Science and Technology, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries, Parks Australia, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Fish chorus records were collated through the manual observation and extraction of records using the Centre for Marine Science and Technology's custom-built Characterisation of Recorded Underwater Sound MATLAB toolbox and custom-written MATLAB software. The Australian Fish Chorus Catalogue is intended to be used as a reference for future studies to gain a greater understanding of how fish contribute to Australian aquatic soundscapes, to help identify fish chorus source species, and to contribute to the future monitoring and management of Australian fish populations. Future work on this catalogue will involve the inclusion of newly identified fish choruses and the classification of choruses to identify the extent of their geographic distribution.

Statement: The Australian Fish Chorus Catalogue was created through the extraction of audio and spectrographic records from acoustic recordings collected by the Centre for Marine Science and Technology (CMST), the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI), Parks Australia, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 83 locations around Australia. Acoustic recordings were collected using CMST-DSTO underwater sound recorders (https://cmst.curtin.edu.au/products/underwater-sound-recorder/) and SoundTrap ST202s, ST300s, and ST500s recorders (Ocean Instruments, Auckland, NZ). The data was pre-processed and analysed using the CHaracterisation Of Recorded Underwater Sound (CHORUS) MATLAB toolbox (The MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA, USA). All spectrographic and audio records were extracted using the CHORUS Graphic User Interface and custom-written MATLAB software.

The authors acknowledge data collection contributions by Dr. Claire Charlton and Dr. Angela Recalde-Salas. The authors also acknowledge contributions from Dr. Jason Gedamke, formerly of the Australian Antarctic Division, for the organization of the deployment of a sea noise logger on a CSIRO mooring south of Tasmania.

The authors acknowledge SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation for supporting acoustic data collection off Bremer Bay, Western Australia. BHP supported data collection for the Port Hedland deployments through their Minerals Australia Social Investment Program (Environment Portfolio). BHP also supported data collection for the Ningaloo and Keppel Islands recording sites, through the Australian Coral Reef Resilience Initiative (ACRRI), which incorporated the Reef Song Project and Woppaburra Coral Project. The Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (on behalf of the Australian Government) supported acoustic data collection as a part of projects ‘2010-004: Passive acoustic techniques to monitor aggregations of sound producing fish species’ (PI Miles Parsons, Curtin University) and ‘2004-051: Management and monitoring of fish spawning aggregations within the West Coast Bio-region of Western Australia’ (PI Michael Mackie, Curtin University). Santos supported acoustic data collection at the Point Samson West, Point Samson East, and Broome North sites. Acoustic recordings collected at these sites contributed to the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences' North West Shoals to Shore Research Program, which is a part of Santos' commitment to better understanding Western Australia's marine environment. The Director of National Parks Australia supported data collection at the Cod Grounds, Murat, Solitary Island, and Two Rocks Australian Marine Park recording sites. The authors thank the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries, the South Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regions, and the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development for their assistance in the acoustic recorder deployments and retrievals at these sites. The authors would also like to thank the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the Centre for Marine Science and Technology, Chevron Australia, Fugro, Inpex, the Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions, the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries, Woodside and Chandra Salgado Kent for supporting data collection.

The authors acknowledge that acoustic data was sourced from from Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS), which is enabled by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) and is operated by a consortium of institutions as an unincorporated joint venture, with the University of Tasmania as Lead Agent.
