SUMMARY:KNOCK\, KNOCK\, WHO'S THERE? INVESTIGATING ROCKFISH VOCALIZATIONS A
 ND THEIR APPLICATIONS FOR ACOUSTIC MONITORING - DARIENNE LANCASTER
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that fish can make sounds? In British Columbia the
 re are 41 species of rockfish\, but very little is known about their vocal
 izations. Dive into the world of underwater communication with this explor
 ation of the diversity of fish sounds occurring in the waters surrounding 
 Vancouver Island. If you’ve ever wondered what a Black rockfish sounds l
 ike or what a Copper rockfish says while it’s being chased\, then this t
 alk is for you. Using photos\, videos\, and sound clips collected from Bar
 kley Sound\, BC this talk will explore the sounds and behaviours of local 
 rockfish and how a better understanding of fish vocalizations could become
  a key tool for monitoring and protecting these species in the future.\n\n
 Darienne Lancaster is a PhD candidate in the biology department at the Uni
 versity of Victoria and her research is focused on developing new\, non-de
 structive acoustic tools for monitoring rockfish. Darienne loves all thing
 s rockfish related and completed her master’s degree in 2015 on recreati
 onal fisher compliance in Rockfish Conservation Areas. Darienne has previo
 usly worked as a scientific diver for coral reef conservation in the Phili
 ppines\, as a BC Park Ranger on the sunshine coast\, and as a biologist wi
 th Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Newfoundland and BC where she studied Ro
 ckfish Conservation Areas\, juvenile Atlantic cod\, and Atlantic salmon. D
 arienne lives in Victoria and is commonly spotted underwater at local dive
  sites or out hiking and camping near the ocean.\n\nThis presentation will
  be via Zoom Video Conferencing. On the Monday preceding the event\, Natu
 re Vancouver members will receive the Zoom link in the weekly e-News. The 
 talk will begin at 7:30 pm. Non-members are welcome and should email zoom
 -request@naturevancouver.ca a few days ahead to register for the link.
