Establishment and population expansion of the non‐native Azores chromis (Chromis limbata) in the subtropical southwestern Atlantic

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study documents new records and the spatial–temporal progression of the non‐native Azores chromis (Chromis limbata) in southeastern Brazil, particularly on the coast of São Paulo state. We report the first confirmed occurrence of C. limbata in the Alcatrazes Archipelago and document that, in recent years, its abundance has exceeded that ...

Apristurus iterum, a new shark discovered based on egg case morphology and sequence data obtained from a formalin‐fixed specimen

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Apristurus iterum, a new species of deepwater catshark, is described from northeastern Australia. The new species is diagnosed through examination of its unique egg case morphology based on a single whole gravid female specimen and 10 egg cases deposited in different Australian ichthyological collections.

Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...

Wayward youth: how maturity, reproduction and seaweed drive snapper (Lutjanus spp.) habitat shifts

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite snappers' (family Lutjanidae) commercial and ecological significance, knowledge gaps remain regarding life history, ontogeny and ecology across their range in the Caribbean and south Atlantic. There is also a need to explore the efficacy of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a tool for enhancing nursery and spawning habitat conservation ...

Associations between fishes (Actinopterygii: Teleostei) and anthozoans (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) in epipelagic waters based on in situ records

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We formally describe the association of fishes and anthozoans in epipelagic waters, extending this relationship to beyond the benthos. In situ observations and photographs of Aluterus schoepfii, Ariomma regulus, Caranx cf. latus and Brama spp.

Growth strategies across life‐history stages and generational turnover of cryptobenthic coral reef fishes of the genus Trimma

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Somatic growth influences survival and reproduction, with flow‐on effects on population dynamics and energy fluxes within ecosystems. Small‐bodied cryptobenthic reef fishes may contribute significantly to productivity due to their life‐history traits, including growth rates and rapid generational turnover.

Period of the day drives distinctions in the taxonomic and functional structures of reef fish assemblages

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Circadian processes are key drivers of animal behaviour, influencing patterns of activity, resource partitioning and competition avoidance. Studies evaluating circadian changes on the structure of marine assemblages are lacking, especially for reef fish.
