Fish "sang" during the Hurricanes

	Quote:
	Not even the fury of Hurricane Charley could silence the amorous songs of fish that sang their hearts out shortly after 140 mph winds whipped up the waters of Florida's Charlotte Harbor last August. Scientists who have been studying the mating sounds of fish there for several years had expected their recording tapes to reveal little reproductive activity on the evening of the hurricane. But it was business as usual for the fish, regardless of the nasty conditions. "We were very surprised," says David Mann, a biological oceanographer at the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science.
