What fish communicate through farting?
Fast repetitive tick (frt) is the name scientists have given the high pitched buzzing sound coming out of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,travel in large schools . Scientists think that herring make the sound to communicate at night. Because most fish cant pick up the high frequency, herring can communicate their location to one another without alerting many of their predators.The exceptions are whales and dolphins.These keen herring mammals pick up the herrings FRTS and use the signals to hut the fish.
Noise pollution
with so many noisy ships engines in the oceans,noise pollution is a serious problem for many marine mammals.Killer whales that feed almost entirely on herring might not be able to hear the herrings farts and wont be able to hunt them as well.And noise pollution might harm the herrings ability to hear and communicate with each other.
