Herring Communication

Apparently they fart at each other

From the BBC news website :-

Quote:

Some fish communicate through the bubbles they release from their bodies, according to marine research. Dr Bob Batty, a British scientist who studied at Nottingham Trent University, is spearheading the research into how herring communicate.

The fish swallow air and then squeeze bubbles out of a small opening creating a noise.

wonder what they think we're saying then

- and have the RB divers sent the rest of us to Coventry?
