Early life history of the Korean seahorse, Hippocampus haema: Evidence for direct settlement and ontogenetic shifts in snout morphology

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life‐history traits of seahorses are closely linked to juvenile survival, dispersal potential and the onset of substrate attachment; however, detailed stage‐resolved descriptions remain limited for many Hippocampus species. This study examined reproductive behaviour and early ontogenetic development of the Korean seahorse, Hippocampus ...

Navigating morphometric minefields: Modelling heteroscedasticity in length‐conversion models

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A common problem when combining data on species' traits from multiple sources is that researchers often measure the same trait in different ways. For example, the length of a shark can be measured in a straight‐line or over‐the‐body, and for lengths that include the tail (e.g., fork and total lengths), with the tail in ‘stretched’ or ‘natural’

Body size, functional form and environmental correlates of maximum longevity in marine‐occurring fishes

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Maximum longevity varies widely among marine‐occurring fishes, but the form of its relationship with body size and the contribution of broad environmental gradients remain uncertain. We analysed 757 species, using maximum length as the primary size metric and completed mass only in sensitivity analyses.

Age, growth and sexual dimorphism of the monkeyface prickleback (Cebidichthys violaceus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate estimates of age, growth and maturation are fundamental to fisheries assessment, conservation and the development of emerging aquaculture species. However, life‐history parameters can vary within species and may be influenced by factors such as sexual dimorphism, which is often poorly quantified in non‐commercial or understudied ...

Global length–weight relationships of deep‐pelagic fishes: Coverage, biases and variability

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Length–weight relationships (LWRs) are morphometric tools that allow body mass to be estimated from fish length, providing input for fisheries, ecological and biodiversity studies. For deep‐pelagic fishes, however, LWR data remain fragmented and unavailable for most species.
