Fish Fart

Lyra Jean · May 31, 2008

If this is the wrong forum feel free to move it. I was reading an aquarium forum I belong to and someone posted this article on fish farting from The New Scientist magazine. Hence my placing it here instead of Office Party.

Biologists have linked a mysterious, underwater farting sound to bubbles coming out of a herring's anus. No fish had been known to emit sound from its anus nor to be capable of producing such a high-pitched noise.

If you go to the article they have a .wav file of the fish fart.

I vote this to be the best thread title of the day.

Really - how often do you see "Fish Fart"?
