Recordist's notes
I dropped a hydrophone into a deep pool in front of a rootwad hoping to record some critters hanging out in the eddy. The hydrophone attracted a lot of fish including one who kept attacking the mic. The fish eventually expressed his displeasure to the intrusion which can be heard at around 54 seconds.
