The objectives of this study are to identify, based on the literature, the soniferous fish species present in the deep part of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) in French Polynesia; and to infer the sounds produced by the species present to link them with previously recorded sounds. A total of 39 fish families through to produce sounds were found to be possibly present at 120 m depth. This list includes well-known families such as Serranidae and Ophidiidae. The most abundant sound recorded in Polynesian mesophotic reefs exhibits similarities to sounds produced by Mediterranean Scorpaena species (Scorpaenidae), a genus also present in Polynesian MCEs. This study provides initial insights into which soniferous fish taxa are present in Polynesian MCEs.
