Abstract
    The accuracy of bioacoustic measurements lies, according to data from literature, within ± 0.01 dB referred to 1 µb or p0. Such high degree of accuracy is justified neither by test accuracies of noise measuring equipment nor by the properties of a sound field limited by soft boundaries. According to our measurements in aquaria of various sizes and different boundaries and the results on frequency dependent damping in columns of liquid with zero impedance byKuhl &Tamm (1953), it can be demonstrated that the sound propagation in an aquarium is considerably reduced below the lowest cut-off-frequency and that the damping of sound waves can reach 20 dB or more due to the soft sound field boundaries. It is pointed out that no type of aquarium is suitable for measurements of sound pressure and relative amplitudes of a given spectrum in the frequency range of bioacoustical interest. From the standpoint of physical measuring techniques all bioacoustical data measured in aquaria are incorrect.
