To make this delicate distinction, Weber set up identical instruments at his headquarters in Col lege Park, Md., and at the Argonne National Laboratory, outside Chicago, nearly 700 miles away. As expected, the wave patterns traced out were at first random and dissimilar because the readings were being taken so far apart...
Then, for a brief instant last December, the waves suddenly jumped into remarkably similar, simultaneous peaks...

To any carnivorous fish within earshot, the signals probably seemed similar to the noises made by other fish when they are feeding, being attacked or under other conditions of stress. Excited by the apparent proximity of prey, the sharks and other predators greedily converged on the sound projector...

Once sharks and other predators that normally swim singly or in small groups can be concentrated into selected areas, it may become profitable for commercial fishermen to "harvest" them, thereby tapping a rich new source of protein.
