Models of Acoustic Localization

  • Conference paper
Hearing and Sound Communication in Fishes

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

It was only several years ago that valid proofs of acoustic localization in teleost fishes were first obtained (see Tavolga 1976, Schuijf and Buwalda 1980 for reviews). Behavioral experiments to demonstrate localization require the production of traveling sound waves that propagate in different directions but do not differ in other qualities. At present, directional stimuli needed to demonstrate acoustic localization can only be obtained in deep water as in a lake or fjord. The inconvenience of doing experiments in the field, to a considerable degree, accounts for the very limited amount of data available today, although such experiments are absolutely necessary.
