I'm looking forward to the results of T. Aran Mooney's summer research project. While many scientists (including Dr. Mooney) have looked into the effects of underwater sound on marine mammals, fish and cephalopods have gotten short shrift. Dr. Mooney suspects Loligo detect low frequency sound quite well, allowing them to sense boats and whales hunting them. This may also explain the historic clash between submarines and rudely awakened giant kraken.Dr. Mooney will not only look into how squid perceive underwater sound, he also plans to train them with sound aversions. Way to use your fellowship grant to write off all those Kenny G albums... Tweet
