Why is it Called 'The Spotted Drum' ?

Belize is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world which makes it a premier destination for scuba diving, snorkeling, and fishing.  A (juvenile) Spotted Drum has an extremely long dorsal fin and they are very elegant and beautiful (and tiny!), with their patterning consists only of black and white stripes.  They are known for the low resonance noise they emit that sounds like the beating of a drum. This noise is made when the fish beat their abdominal muscle against their swim bladder.
