“The song is about letting go,” said Vedder. “It’s very rare for a relationship to withstand the Earth’s gravitational pull and where it’s going to take people and how they’re going to grow. I’ve heard it said that you can’t really have a true love unless it was a love unrequited. It’s a harsh one, because then your truest one is the one you can’t have forever.”

AS BIRDS SOME REEF FISHES SING A DAWN CHORUS

But a creepy chorus. Australian scientists have found evidence that certain species of fish actually sing together, in a chorus, each day at dawn and dusk.  The results are published in the Journal Bioacoustic.

Researchers recorded vocalization of fish over an 18-month period in the coastal waters off Port Headland in Western Australia, and what they found were seven distinct fish choruses, happening at dawn and at dusk

Sound plays an important role in various behavioural functions and life stages of fish, such as spawning, feeding, territorial disputes or distress. Noctural fishes use calls to stay together when they hunt, while fish that are active during the day use sound to defend their territory.

Cataloguing the acoustic characteristics and temporal patterns of choruses and their locations is important, can provide significant information for long-term monitoring of vocal fishes and their ecosystems. A silent aquatic environment means ecosystemic problems such as lower species abundance and absence of fish.

Called Great freshwater stingray (Potamotrygon rex), is a very large, “black stingray” species. Its specific name rex is Latin for “king”, in reference to its large, bulky size and striking color pattern—king of the Tocantins river, where this new species of rounded stingray is endemic, in the middle of the Amazon, Brazil.  According to Marcelo Carvalho, from USP, it preys in mollusc, fishes, crustaceans and insects.

The Tocantins river is well known for its relatively high diversity and exceptional number of endemic species of fishes. Upwards of 35% of the approximately 350 species of fishes recorded from its middle and upper reaches are endemic, and dozens of new species remain undescribed. This year another new species of rounded stingray, called cururu ray  was discovered.

Like other stingrays, freshwater stingrays  have venomous barbs at the base of their tails, and are dangerous species for the human health. It is said that the natives of South America fear the stingray more than they do the piranha.

Reference: Carvalho, 2016.  Potamotrygon rex, a new species of Neotropical freshwater stingray (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygonidae) from the middle and upper rio Tocantins, Brazil, closely allied to Potamotrygon henlei (Castelnau, 1855). Zootaxa.
