Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Cabled multiparametric observatories are sustaining ecological monitoring by collecting long‐term real‐time biological and environmental data. Here, we investigated fish communities by sampling environmental DNA (eDNA) over 4 days near the multiparametric cabled video‐observatory OBSEA (Northwestern Mediterranean Sea).

Resource partitioning among algal turf‐feeding fishes on a tropical artificial shoreline
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rapid coastal development has led to the proliferation of artificial structures along urban shorelines. Numerous studies have shown that patterns of fish diversity associated with these novel habitats are driven by physical habitat complexity; however, trophic‐mediated processes in shaping these patterns remain poorly understood.

Genomic Resources for Imperiled Caribbean Reef-Forming Corals (Hexacorallia: Scleractinia): Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of <i>Dichocoenia stokesii</i>, <i>Diploria labyrinthiformis</i>, <i>Oculina patagonica</i>, and <i>Stephanocoenia intersepta</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMitochondrial genomes of imperiled Caribbean corals are sequenced. These genomic resources will support conservation initiatives. ABSTRACT Coral reefs provide a wide variety of services essential to both marine ecosystems and human societies yet reef‐forming corals are currently facing a multitude of global and local environmental stressors.

Precision and accuracy of fish length measurements obtained with two visual underwater methods [PDF]
, 2006 During the VITAL cruise in the Bay of Biscay in summer 2002, two devices for measuring the length of swimming fish were tested: 1) a mechanical crown that emitted a pair of parallel laser beams and that was mounted on the main camera and 2) an underwater

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is a useful non‐destructive tool for evaluating species presence, diversity and abundance. However, in marine environments, a dearth of tools and methods for identifying wild, species‐specific fish calls makes quantitative PAM assessments for specific fish species challenging.
