The main frequency component of the emitted sounds was 100.300 Hz, the mean duration of the sounds being 56 msec. The sounds were produced by paired extrinsic sonic muscles vibrating the swimbladder. The sonic muscles originated on the pterotic bones and extended to the anterodorsal surface of the swimbladder, and were innervated by two branches of the occipital nerves. Moreover significant sexual dimorphism of the sonic muscles was observed, those in males being three times as large as in females.}, pages = {1317--1320}, title = {Sound characteristics and the sound producing system in silver sweeper, Pempheris schwenkii (Perciformes, Pempheridae)}, volume = {83}, year = {2003} }
