Statistic to Plot:

Total Species

The total number of extant fish species known to exist in each region.

Examined Species

The number of fish species in each region that have been examined morphophysiologically or auditorily to determine if they make sound.

Soniferous Species

The number of fish species in each region that are known to produce sound, either actively (i.e., intentionally) or passively (e.g., chewing, splashing).

Actively Soniferous Species

The number of fish species in each region that are known to produce active (i.e., intentional) sound.

Percent Examined

The percent of fish species in a region that have been studied for sound production (examined out of total species).

Percent Soniferous

The percent of fish species in a region that are known to produce sound, either actively (i.e., intentionally) or passively (e.g., chewing, splashing), (soniferous out of total species).
