Behaviour

The calling, courtship and aggression songs of T. oceanicus have distinctive temporal patterns but their spectral compositions are very similar: the carrier frequency occurs around 4.5 kHz and harmonics occur which extend above background noise level up to at least 40 kHz (Fig. 1). Male T. oceanicus produce courtship, aggression and calling (proclamation) songs(Fig. 1). The temporal characteristicsare similar to those described by Bentley (1977). The spectra of a number of syllablesfrom different parts of all three songs were analysed up to 40 kHz (Fig. 1D). The spectral contents and the relative intensities of the contained frequenciesare similar in all three songs. The carrier frequency (CF) of each song is 4.5 kHz - 5 kHz and harmonics extend up to at least 40 kHz.
