Well tha's an interesting side note of useless information. Interesting, but really useless. At times I wonder if scientist are really as smart as we are led to believe. |

This is so stupid. Listen scientists, we don't want to know if the fish communicate via ass gass. Let some things be a mystery, because truth is stranger than fiction! I'd rather not know how fish communicate than know they communicate via fart!
That's just gross. >.< God! |

Truth stranger than fiction...
Fish 'farts' a form of communication? Fish 'farts' a form of communication? Last Updated Thu, 06 Nov 2003 10:15:19 VANCOUVER - Herring make farting sounds at night, Canadian and British scientists say. Scientists knew herring have an excellent sense of hearing, but now researcher Ben Wilson of the University of British Columbia Fisheries Centre in Vancouver and his British colleagues investigated their secret noises. At night, herring squeeze bubbles out of their swim bladders through an anal pore. The action produces distinctive sounds, resembling a person blowing raspberries or farting. Wilson is now trying to figure out why. The fish tend to make noise more often when in the company of others, which suggests it plays a social role, the researchers say. If so, sound may be more important in herring than scientists had thought, and they may need to look into the effects of noise pollution from humans. The fish may also produce the sounds to ward off predators. Or it could be an incidental effect of staying buoyant, Wilson said. The commercially valuable fish live in the temperate waters of the northern hemisphere. The study appears in this week's online issue of the Royal Society's Biology Letters.  |
