One of Ms. Oliveros's pieces, "Sound Fishes" is listed as having been composed in 1992, but a listener had to wonder whether the date has any relevance for a piece that is more a set of conceptual instructions than a notated score.
Talk story about recordings of sounds fish make under water A study of fish noises was begun, when the Coast Artillery reported that some peculiar noises were being picked up by the hydrophones they had attached to mines with which they were experimenting off Old Point Comfort.
The sound of fish flopping on the boat emerged from recording the slapping of surgical gloves on a hand and then reprocessing that sound.
Nitrogen is one of the primary causes of hypoxia — low levels of dissolved oxygen that each summer makes hundreds of square miles of habitat unsuitable in the Sound, damaging fish and plant life.
According to still another survey, this one by the PricewaterhouseCoopers hospitality and leisure group, top hotels are competing for guests by adding amenities like in-room massages, fresh flowers, DVD players, air purifiers, 300-count bed sheets, expensive sound systems, fish tanks and the like.
Consequently, reducing sound in fish tanks could result in advantages for cultured species and increased productivity for the aquaculture industry.
Modeling the effect of underwater sound on fish preference represents a promising technique to determine migratory paths for the comprehensive analysis of river habitat suitability.
All the communities along the coast--which depend on the Sound's fish populations for food, jobs, tourism, and work--were devastated.
Among the sound-producing fish, the coral reef damselfishes (Pomacentridae) are one of the most intensely studied families with sound production being documented for more than 20 species, belonging to seven different genera [ 14- 16].
