Abstract in brief

This study is the first to record sounds made by fish larvae, specifically grey snapper larvae, showing they produce knock and growl sounds at night, similar to adult fish.
The recordings were done both in the natural environment and in the lab without provoking the fish, indicating these sounds are a natural part of their behavior during early life stages.
Although scientists don’t fully understand why larvae produce these sounds or how they do it physiologically, the researchers suggest that the sounds might help larvae stay together in the dark when they can’t rely on sight.
