Fall asleep, meditate or study to the soothing (creepy?) song of the plainfin midshipman: https://youtu.be/22Eo5o6NyYU

That fish was a second away from being called a farting rockfish.
-
For humming at such a low frequency, those fish actually deserve the name “bass”.
-
I was a child when I watched Don Knotts in the movie “The Incredible Mr. Limpet”. It’s the story of a man that loves fish so much he becomes one after falling into the water. He becomes a WW2 hero when he discovers as a fish he can make a loud bellowing sound to warn the navy of the presence of enemy ships. This fish makes that story come alive for me!

I have no clue why the algorithm shows me this, but I love it. Very interesting.
-
They OM chant and it sounds divine… like a group of monks chanting it!
-
Sounds kinda like a ship horn in the distance.
-
“Far over…the misty mountains cold… to dungeons deep, and caverns old..” I think that’s what the fish are singing. 😂
-
Sarika, you sound like the type of marine biologist that ignites the interest of science and discovery in children... and that must be a most fulfilling task!
-
Imagine going out to the sea at night before humans were everywhere with our light and noise pollution and hearing the sound of their mating call and seeing the gentle glow is bioluminescent algae as the waves strike the rocks beneath the starry expense of the Milky Way.
-
THESE FISH ARE JUST LIKE FROGS IN A WAY, THEY SING TOGETHER THE SAME WAY FROGS SO AFTER IT RAINS.
-
I love that this critter's defensive vocalization sounds like an angry whoopie cushion!
-
This is so underrated. The presentation is quite different from the usual animal science videos. The atmosphere here is so warm, cozy, casual, and whimsical due to the visualizations and the music.
-
Now I want 1 hour long recording of the plainfin midshipman fish's humming sound on SPOTIFY!..
-
I’m so pleased to have lived long enough to see such a change in how underwater creatures are understood instead of being dismissed as a lower order of animal. Now more people understand that like land animals, water animals feel pain, live interesting and complex lives, etc.

40ish years ago as a kid I was playing in the tide pools around Avila Beach, CA and found one of these things. I told everyone I found a fish under a rock on dry land and it grunted at me, but nobody believed me. Today I'm vindicated! Fascinating!
-
My daughter wants to be a marine biologist, I'm totally sharing this with her. Thank you
-
I love her passion and communication style ☺️
-
I love the puppetry and stop motion story telling! This fish is not hideous at all....
-
Her interest is contagious! What a great teacher and what an amazing world we have to live in!
