Sounds produced by Arctic cod were recorded for the first time and suggest passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) can be an effective additional tool for the study and management of the species. Each of the 38 calls detected in three different aquatic facilities consisted of a single grunt with 6 to 12 pulses and a mean duration of 289 ms. Call frequency ranged between 59 and 234 Hz, with a mean peak frequency of 107 Hz. These preliminary data suggest Arctic cod can be distinguished from other gadids, but additional studies of sympatric species are needed before PAM can be confidently adopted.
