有人认为，大多数硬骨鱼不能检测声音高于2或3千赫（参考文献1）。然而，我们在这里报告说，至少有一个物种的鲱类鱼（鲱鱼和鲱鱼），美国鲱鱼（Alosa saparissima），可以检测到的声音高达180千赫。我们推测，鲱类能够检测到他们的主要捕食者之一，回声定位鲸类的超声波点击。
It has been suggested that most teleost fishes cannot detect sounds higher than 2 or 3 kHz (ref. 1). However, we report here that at least one species of clupeid fish (herrings and shads), the American shad (Alosa sapidissima), can detect sounds up to 180 kHz. We speculate that clupeids are able to detect the ultrasonic clicks of one of their major predators, echolocating cetaceans.
