What is the frequency response of the speaker? Do fish clicks impose special demands on the system? They sound like impulses, maybe have similarities to certain drum hits? Are biologists deceiving naive fish with mid-bass frequency bumps? I imagine that fish are subjectivists and "like what they like". How do the invertebrates feel about the whole artificial soundscape?
