Now that’s a concert to celebrate!
Now streaming: Monterey Bay’s sublime symphony of whale vocalizations! 🎵🐋
Spanning more octaves than a piano, humpback whales sing powerfully into the vast ocean. These songs are beautifully complex, weaving phrases and themes into masterful compositions.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends.
For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

Did you know that Arctic cod make sound? Listen to the CodCast, a podcast telling the story of the research conducted by my friends at the University of Victoria trying to unravel the sounds of the Arctic cod. 🧪🐟🔉 #fishsounds

The Codcast
This four episode podcast series explores the discovery of a sound. It is a faint but distinct sound produced by a fish, the Arctic cod. Only recently have scientists realized how important sound is in the lives of fishes. The Arctic cod was never thought of as a sound producing, or soniferous species, until researchers from the Juanes Lab put a recording device in an Arctic cod tank. The sound they heard was clearly biological, produced by the fish in the tank, and is now known as a 'grunt'. This one discovery launched a multi-year investigation into the sound producing ability of this species. Why do they produce sound? How do they produce sound? When do they produce sound? Is noise pollution interfering with their sound production in the wild? These are the questions this series will dive into, getting accounts from the investigating scientific team, bioacousticians, and fish sound experts. This series also explores noise pollution in the ocean more broadly, and how it is affecting not just fish, but all sound producing marine species.
