Author’s Note

I’d like to share some fish trivia with you. Low-pitched sounds are used to communicate between them. There are moans, grunts, creaks, shrieks, hisses, whistles, booms, and croaks. They gnash their teeth and rattle their bones. 

Fish, however, do not  have vocal chords. To make noises, they use other parts of their bodies, such as vibrating muscles against their swim bladders. Amazing, yes?
