NANFA member Shireen Gonzaga has written a fabulous article about fish
vocalizations. You can read it here:

http://www.earthsky.com/Features/Articles/0600fishtalk.html

The site includes actual recordings of fishes purring, clicking and burping. The
neatest is the oyster toadfish, which makes a foghorn-like sound.

Enjoy!
