 underwater sound by North Atlantic coastal 

 fishes. J. Mar. Res., 11(2): 180-193. 



The biological origin of sound produced 

 by fishes is discussed. The sound produced 

 by the cunner consists of a low thump 

 caused by the air bladder.

"At Corson's Inlet and Barnegat Pier Dr. 

 Phillips has taken this fish. He says they 

 are plentiful early in the season till late, 

 and are never much over six, and mostly 

 three or four inches in length. It is 

 occasionally eaten, though the flesh is not 

 as firm eating as that of the tautog. It is a 

 great bait-stealer." p. 386.
