[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am looking for video/audio of black or/and yellowfin croaker croaking.[/FONT]

[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am a graduate student at Cal. State Northridge, looking into the reproductive behavior of giant sea bass. Part of my project is identifying sounds produced by them during this process. I have hours of sound clips from a GSB aggregation site out in Catalina and throughout them I frequently am hearing a specific type of chorusing/croaking. So far, I know it's not white sea bass or midshipmen so I would like to see if is one of the other two croakers you can find out in Catalina: The yellowfin croaker or the black croaker.[/FONT]

[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]If you or anyone you know is willing to share some video/audio footage or a good place to see and capture their sounds it would be greatly appreciated! [/FONT]

[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Thanks! [/FONT]:D
 
I hear them at Shaws Cove at night at 40 feet and deeper...Very clear!
