Full Description

"Many bluestriped grunts were visually observed at the site by day and produce pulsed sounds similar to the pulses of the detected sounds. However, this is a very gross comparison, and expert opinion was inconclusive. Suggestions were followed up by more targeted reference recording searches and comparisons, however, without quality reference recordings or abundance data for species at the site, identification possibilities were very limited."
