Hi!
Any of these of any use? I haven't read them - found them at the end of a paper on fish acoustics.
Alexander R McN (1966) Physical aspects of swim bladder function. Biol Rev 41: 131-176
Barimo JF, Fine ML (1998) Relationship of swim-bladder shape to the directionality pattern of underwater sound in the
oyster toadfish. Can J Zool 76: 134-143
Blaxter JHS, Tytler P (1978) Physiology and function of the swimbladder. Adv Comp Physiol Biochem 7: 311-367
Jones FRH, Marshall NB (1953) The structure and functions of the teleost swimbladder. Biol Rev 28: 16-83
Sand O, Hawkins AD (1973) Acoustic properties of the cod swimbladder. J Exp Biol 58: 797-820
Cheers,
William
