Association between a fish and box jellyfish during an encounter with a carcharhinid shark

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish‐cubomedusa associations are less frequently reported than those involving scyphozoans and are typically limited to larval or juvenile fishes without an explicit predator context. Here, we report an adult fish associating with the cubozoan Morbakka sp. during an encounter with a carcharhinid shark at Magnetic Island, Australia. [Correction

3D Habitat Complexity and Coral Morphology Modulate Reef Fish Functional Structure in a Marine National Park

Ecology and Evolution
The ongoing degradation of coral reef habitats is widely acknowledged to have adverse effects on the abundance and diversity of reef fish populations, yet the direct effects on ecosystem functions remain uncertain. This study used a quantitative approach

When mesophotic meets shallow: First records of deep‐associated reef fishes in a well‐studied tropical bay under the influence of spring–summer upwelling

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We document the first records of reef fishes typically associated with mesophotic environments on shallow (<10 m) coral reefs inside a well‐studied tropical bay. The vermilion snapper Rhomboplites aurorubens and the pygmy angelfish Centropyge aurantonotus, usually restricted to deeper (>40 m) shelf habitats along the Brazilian coast, were ...

Indicators for the management of coral reefs and their applications to marine protected areas [PDF]

Informed planning and decision-making in the management of natural resources requires an ability to integrate complex interactions in ecosystems and communicate these effectively to stakeholders. This involves coping with three fundamental dilemmas.

Cryptobenthic reef fishes may not be safe from invasive lionfish (Pterois spp. Oken, 1817)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Lionfish (Pterois spp.) are hypothesized to negatively influence cryptobenthic reef fish assemblages through predation. We evaluated these potential effects on Caribbean reefs in Costa Rica and tropical reefs in Brazil. Brazil provided a reference condition for cryptobenthic assemblages prior to lionfish invasion, while the Costa Rica sites ...

First record of piscivory in ghost pipefishes (Teleostei, Solenostomidae) revealed by micro‐computed tomography

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ghost pipefishes (Solenostomidae) have been regarded as specialist crustacean feeders since the 1960s, an inference resting on two primary dietary accounts. We report the first documented evidence of piscivory in the family based on micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) examination of voucher specimens of Solenostomus snuffleupagus and S ...

Catching and rearing postlarval cleaner shrimp for the aquarium trade: results from a WorldFish Center project in Solomon Islands [PDF]

Between 1999 and 2003, the WorldFish Center in Solomon Islands conducted research into the feasibility of a new fishery based on the capture and culture of postlarval coral reef fish for the live fish trade.

Melanoma and Other Melanistic Lesions in Brown Bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus From Waterbodies in the Northeastern United States and Canada: Identification of Risk Factors

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Melanistic lesions, including non‐raised black areas due to proliferations of melanocytes and melanomacrophages in the dermis and epidermis, as well as raised black areas consistent with melanoma, are described in brown bullhead (BBH) Ameiurus nebulosus from three water bodies in the northeastern United States and Quebec, Canada.
