	Midshipman - LoveToKnow 1911
		MIDSHIPMAN, the title in the British and American navies of the "young gentlemen" who are serving in order to qualify themselves to hold a commission as lieutenant.
		The English midshipman was originally a petty officer, one of the crew under the immediate orders of the boatswain.
		To-day the midshipman is the officer of the British and American navies who has passed through the preliminary schools and has been appointed to a ship.

	Acoustical Society of America -Fish Love Songs
		Midshipman have a second group of smaller, "type II" males that do not acoustically court females but rather sneak into a nest while females are there with a type I male (4).
		The simplicity of midshipman vocalizations, especially the sinusoidal-like hum, permit the generation of computer-synthesized sounds that readily mimic naturalistic stimuli and can be used in studies to reliably assess how the brain transforms species-typical sounds into a neural code of action potentials.
		Hence, one explanation for how individual midshipman fish choose one of two concurrent hum-like signals that form an acoustic beat is that they have neurons with temporal coding properties that permit the segregation and discrmination of the fine temporal structure of single and concurrent hums.

	Cornell News: Humming fish: Auditory scene analysis
		In part of the midshipman female brain known as the midbrain (and humans have midbrains and hindbrains, too), Baker and Bass found neurons that respond to a 100-Hz hum.
		Together, the Cornell "midshipman crew" hopes to learn how courtship signals are encoded in the brain and what it is about one love hum that makes it more attractive than another.
		Cornell biologists who conduct acoustic playback experiments with midshipman fish in outdoor aquariums report that female midshipman are easily attracted to their computer-synthesized hums.

	Midshipman fish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mating in midshipman fishes depends on auditory communication; males during the breeding season broadcast a sound usually described as a hum, generated by rapid contractions of the muscles in the swim bladder.
		The sound can be kept up for up to an hour, and is loud enough to be heard by (and to puzzle) people on nearby land and houseboats; the hulls of the boats tend to amplify the sound to sleep-disrupting levels.
		Researchers from the University of Washington and Cornell University have recently demonstrated that the increase in sensitivity associated with female reproductive status can be duplicated in non-reproductive females of the Plainfin Midshipman (Porichthys notatus) by boosting hormone levels, and that this acts on the fish's inner-ear to produce the change in sensitivity.

		The plainfin midshipman is distributed from Gorda Bank, Gulf of California, to Sitka, Alaska (Hubbs and Schultz 1939; Arora 1948; Miller and Lea 1972; Hart 1973).
		The spawning behavior and larval development process of the plainfin midshipman require habitat similar to that of the oyster toadfish, Opsanus tau, which is found along the Atlantic Coast of the United States (Gudger 1908; Dovel 1960).
		Juvenile plainfin midshipman were often observed in the freshwater or oligohaline ranges of the Sacramento- San Joaquin estuary, indicating euryhaline characteristics for their early life (this study).

		Masters, the lieutenant of the watch, could see; he was sheltering as best he could in the lee of the mizzenmast bitts, and in obedience to the order of the midshipman of the watch the boat drew up towards the main chains and passed out of his sight.
		Masters became aware of the near approach of someone along the quarter deck; it was the new arrival under the escort of the midshipman of the watch, who, after pointing Masters out, retired to the main chains again.
		Masters had served in the navy until his hair was white; he was lucky to have received his commission as lieutenant, and he had long known that he would never receive one as captain, but the knowledge has not greatly embittered him, and he diverted his mind by the study of his fellow men.

		Though only a petty officer officially, a midshipman was understood to be a gentleman and given many of the priveliges of commissioned officers.
		While serving as a midshipman, the young officer learned navigation and seamanship, and had such duties as supervising sections of gun crews, acting as officers' messengers, and taking charge of prizes.
		In 1870, the midshipmen studying at the Naval Academy were restyled "cadet midshipmen." After four years at the Academy and two at sea, the "cadet" was dropped and the midshipman went to sea again until a vacancy opened in the ensign ranks.

		The plainfin midshipman fish is known to biologists and sailors along the U.S. West Coast for the love song the male belts out when he has a nest ready for a female’s eggs.
		During the late spring and summer, sailors often hear the combined chorus of the midshipman males, but research had found that females who had already laid their eggs no longer seemed to respond to the distant hum.
		To determine the cause of this selective hearing, Bass and his team took female midshipman without eggs and injected them with an estrogen-like hormone that is normally elevated in egg-carrying females.
