...M. A. Connaughton; M. L. Fine; M. H. Taylor SUMMARY The influence of temperature, size and season on the sounds produced by the sonic muscles of the weakfish Cynoscion regalis are categorized and used to formulate a hypothesis about the mechanism of sound generation by the sonic muscle...

...M. A. Connaughton; M. H. Taylor; M. L. Fine ABSTRACT To categorize variation in disturbance calls of the weakfish Cynoscion regalis and to understand their generation, we recorded sounds produced by different-sized fish, and by similar-sized fish at different temperatures, as well as muscle...

...M. A. Connaughton; M. L. Fine; M. H. Taylor ABSTRACT Male weakfish Cynoscion regalis possess highly specialized, bilateral, striated sonic muscles used in sound production associated with courtship. Androgen-driven hypertrophy of the muscles during the late spring spawning period results...
