    Underwater hearing is by bone conduction, and localization of sound appears to depend on differences in amplitude detected by bone conduction. [7] As such, aquatic animals such as fish have a more specialized hearing apparatus that is effective underwater. [8] Fish can sense sound through their lateral lines and their otoliths (ears).

    [10] This name is due to people hearing them make noise as if they were talking to each other. They can do this by moving their pectoral spines in a certain way called stridulation. [10] This process is not specific to catfish and is often displayed in insects, it is where animals will grind two bony or hard structures together to produce noise.
