Welcome to The Freshwater Sounds Archive, a project that seeks to create a global database of sounds produced by freshwater soniferous species. Our goal is to consolidate existing knowledge on the sounds produced by all freshwater life and provide a free platform to expand that knowledge into the future.
All those who contribute sounds to the archive, following the instructions below, will be included as co-authors in the resulting data paper—allowing us to create an archive that reflects the incredible efforts of those that work within this field. This project is being led by Dr. Jack Greenhalgh in collaboration with the FishSounds team.
The submitted sound(s) must be:
Download the sound submission instructions below and follow the instructions and examples.
Submit files to The Freshwater Sounds Archive Google Drive folder.
All submitted sounds will be compiled into a data paper ahead of storage in the archive. Contributors to the archive will automatically be added as a co-author on the data paper. We will connect with contributors as we draft the manuscript and prepare the archive for release.
Please feel free to reach out to Dr. Jack Greenhalgh if you have any questions.
