At Charite University, scientists have found one of the world's smallest fish that can make a sound as loud as a gunshot in Berlin. The 12-mm transparent fish makes sounds that are louder than 140 decibels.
At Charite University, scientists have found one of the world’s smallest fish that can make a sound as loud as a gunshot in Berlin. The 12-mm transparent fish makes sounds that are louder than 140 decibels.
According to researchers, this kind of fish is the loudest known for a fish of its size. The Guardian In Myanmar’s streams, Danionella cerebrum is a species that is around the size of a human nail. They examined the method that the fish utilized to make sound using a high-speed camera.
discovered that the fish have a particular rib, fatigue-resistant muscle, and drumming cartilage that work together to produce a unique sound system. Danionella cerebrum’s mechanism enables it to accelerate the drumming cartilage at extremely high stresses, producing loud, rapid pulses. It sounds the same as an ambulance siren or siren.
The study said that understanding this unique adaptation expands their grasp of animal motion and emphasizes the striking variation in propulsion systems among species, enhancing comprehension of evolutionary biology and biomechanics.
People who stand next to fish tanks hear these sounds as a constant buzzing sound because a large portion of the sound made by the fish is reflected back into the water. Although the reason behind the fish’s loud noises is still unknown, said the report.
