In May 2021 Hakai Magazine published a five-episode mini podcast called The Sound Aquatic. While our team has a break over the holidays, we’re bringing you that series. Here’s the third episode, “Plenty of Fish.” Ah, l’amour. Finding a mate is a big part of life for all animals and those beneath the waves are no exception. Of course, this search for love often involves—you guessed it—sounds. From the booming grunt of a fish trying to lure a lucky lady to his lair, to the mournful moan of a whale, sending out deep, loud sounds across ocean basins to potential mates from far, far away, this episode of The Sound Aquatic listens in on love beneath the waves.
