<jats:p>Fish sounds are a significant component of marine soundscapes. Recently, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) arose as a promising tool for ecological monitoring, but a good characterization of fish acoustic communities is still needed. This study is the first to characterize the fish acoustic community at a biogeographic transition zone in the Northeast Atlantic. The research was conducted in a marine protected area (MPA) along the Portuguese mainland coast. Based on a literature review, we identified 29 (19.3%) sound-producing fish species present at this MPA, while 70 species (46.7%) were considered potentially soniferous. Using in situ acoustic recordings to detect potential fish sounds, we found 33 putative fish sounds that were categorized using a simple dichotomous classification. The temporal and spectral features of the 13 most prevalent sound types were characterized and compared among them and with available recordings to identify similarities. Finally, hydrophone recordings coupled with baited remote underwater video systems were tested as a method to identify sound sources. This study provides the first fish sound catalogue from the Portuguese mainland coast, laying the foundations to survey fish communities in coastal habitats with PAM.</jats:p>
