Males produce a short, harmonic mating call titled a 'boatwhistle' to attract females from late May to early August. A hydrophone was deployed under the dock at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole Massachusetts to passively monitor their mating behavior. An underwater speaker played boatwhistles at the toadfish at varied times throughout the day and season to determine the male response to hearing extraneous noise.entoadfishopsanus taumarine biologybioacousticsSwenson College of Science and EngineeringUndergraduate Research Opportunities ProgramUniversity of Minnesota DuluthPresentation
