Summary: The ability to confine sound energy with high-quality factor resonance is crucial for acoustic devices requiring high intensity and hypersensitivity. Recent research has demonstrated the potential for high-quality factor acoustic modes through bound states in the continuum, showing promise for improving acoustic resonator design.

Summary: Predation plays a crucial role in shaping behavior and communication in animals, including fish. While some fish species modify their vocalizations in the presence of predators to increase survival chances, the specific effects of predators on sound production in fish remain largely unknown. This paper reviews how fish adjust their acoustic communication to predators and highlights the importance of further research on predator-prey interactions in noisy aquatic environments.

Summary: This paper discusses the influence of soundscape sequence in different urban open spaces on emotion. The findings indicate that emotional response is highly correlated with background type, positive foregrounds in the early or neutral/negative foregrounds in the later part of a sequence induce better emotional experiences, emotional changes occur along with foreground changes, and combining foregrounds can help regulate negative emotions.

Summary: Fish samples collected from the southern Atlantic ocean during the 2020 Circumnavigation Expedition were found to be contaminated with microplastics. The study highlights the importance of understanding microplastic contamination in mesopelagic fishes used for human consumption and emphasizes the need for further research on microplastic contamination in top predatory species.

Summary: The translocation of African cichlid fishes, along with their parasites, to Mexico has resulted in the co-introduction of exotic parasites which infect both cultured tilapia and native fishes. This may have a significant impact on the ichthyofauna in Mexico, one of the world's megadiverse countries.

Summary: The paper introduces a novel training procedure called AdvOE to improve OOD detection performance of SAR-ATR systems by introducing an unlabeled OOD dataset to co-design the ATR system. Experimental results show that the method nearly doubles the OOD detection performance over the baseline in key settings and excels when using only synthetic training data.

Summary: Although the continental slope and abyss are the largest habitats on earth, fish sounds are absent from deep waters. The presence of sexually dimorphic muscles on fish swim bladders suggests that sounds are likely used in male courtship on different levels of the continental slope. This study investigates the effects of environmental extremes on fish sound production by examining the acoustic behavior of a driven bubble. The findings indicate that bubbles in deep-water environments have reduced radiation efficiency, which likely contributes to the absence of fish sound recordings in those environments.

Summary: Rapid urbanization and population growth pose significant challenges to building livable and sustainable cities worldwide. This has led to an increase and diversification of urban sounds, which are now being transformed into information for the concept of smart cities. Two basic methods, signal processing and deep learning models, are used to classify urban sounds. This study investigated the effect of individual and hybrid use of features from both approaches on sound classification. Experiments on ESC-10 and UrbanSound8k datasets showed successful results, with mel-spectrogram, scalogram, and spectrogram images achieving the highest classification success.

Summary: The paper introduces two new major features added to the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation code Brick-CFCMC for phase- and reaction equilibria calculations: thermodynamic integration for computing excess chemical potentials (mu(ex)) and hybrid MC/MD translation and rotation trial moves. These new features significantly increase the efficiency of sampling the configuration space.

Summary: MicroRNAs play crucial roles in regulating gene expression, and the miR-430 family is particularly important in early fish development. This study found that the miR-430 family emerged early in fish evolution, and all studied species have multiple copies of miR-430. In some early-diverged fish, three different versions of miR-430 were identified, but some groups seem to have lost some of these versions over time. These findings suggest the need for further research on the functions of different miR-430 versions and their potential impact on aquaculture.

Summary: The study revealed a high frequency (93.8%) of microplastics in river fish, with polystyrene, polyethylene, and nylon being the main types. Fish from stations near urban and industrial areas showed the highest levels of microplastics.

Summary: In this study, we characterized sex-specific markers and sex determination in mandarin fishes. We found significant sex-differentiated regions and sex chromosomes in Siniperca chuatsi as well as other mandarin fishes. These non-recombining regions contained male-biased genetic polymorphisms and were conserved among the species. We successfully developed male-specific genetic markers and found a male heterogametic (XX-XY) sex determination system. Our study has important implications for future research and aquaculture applications in mandarin fishes.

Summary: This study investigates the technical efficiency of a Multilayer Perforated Sound Absorber (MPSA) made of 3D-printed perforated panels using vat photopolymerization method, and evaluates its sound absorption performance using an impedance tube. Results show that the perforation ratio and air gap significantly affect the resonant frequency of the maximum sound absorption coefficient.3D-printed perforated panels demonstrate high performance in sound absorption.

Summary: Fish biomass and stock assessment require consideration of sound attenuation caused by both water and fish. However, limited knowledge is available on fish-induced acoustic attenuation. This study measured the acoustic attenuation from one to four fish specimens in a water tank and found that the maximum attenuation coefficient (alpha) was approximately 25 dB/cm when multiple high fish heights were present. The analysis showed a linear relationship between the attenuation coefficient (alpha(200kHz)) and the total fish height (H-total). This research provides basic information on the sound attenuation characteristics of fish, which can be used for compensating Sv from fish schools or layers.

Summary: This study investigated the fish assemblages on 629 rocky reefs along a 417 km coastline in southeastern Australia. The results showed that Chrysophrys auratus preferred to inhabit reefs near estuaries, with smaller size and higher abundance. The length and abundance of Nemadactylus douglasii and Pseudocaranx georgianus were not influenced by the proximity or size of estuaries. Regardless of the distance to estuaries, marine reserves had higher abundances and larger Chrysophrys auratus. The study highlights the importance of estuaries for sustaining coastal fisheries recruitment.

Summary: In piranhas, sounds are produced through the vibration of the swim bladder wall caused by the contraction of bilateral sonic muscles. The neural motor pathway adjustments include a transition from a bilateral alternating pattern to a synchronous activation pattern, a switch from a slow- to a high-frequency regime, and an increase in the synchrony of motor neuron activation. Sound features correspond to the activity of the sonic muscles, suggesting a transition in the neural circuit associated with spinal motor neurons for faster simultaneous activation to generate vocal signals.

Summary: The swim bladder serves as buoyancy and is also involved in hearing and voluntary sound production. This study investigates the functions of swim bladder-associated muscles in lionfish species. The results show that lionfish can produce low-frequency hums and intermittent knocks as aposematic signals. Analysis suggests that these sounds are produced by muscles closely associated with the swim bladder, which also play a role in maneuvering and locomotion.
