| Research Abstract |
Twenty-three fish species were described newly as the sonic fishes in this research. They included pineconefish, four-spine sculpin, bigeyes (7 species), angelfishes (11 species), jarbua terapon, barred knifejaw and spotted knifejaw. Of these sonic fishes, pineconefish, four-spine sculpin, jarbua terapon, barred knifejaw and spotted knifejaw are sonic with an occipital sonic system. Priacanthid bigeyes and pomacanthid angelfishes produce sound with a spinal nerve sonic system. All of these fish species utilize either occipital or spinal nerve system, and no species was recognized that use both nerves to control the sonic muscles.
