Visual Biology of Hawaiian Coral Reef Fishes. II. Colors of Hawaiian Coral Reef Fish

Copeia, 2003
The colors of 51 species of Hawaiian reef fish have been measured using a spectrometer and therefore can be described in objective terms that are not influenced by the human visual experience. In common with other known reef fish populations, the colors of Hawaiian reef fish occupy spectral positions from 300-800nm; yellow or orange with blue, yellow ...

Coral Reef Fishes as Indicators of Environmental Stress in Coral Reefs

1988
Butterflyfishes of the family Chaetodontidae are conspicuous inhabitants of coral reefs throughout the world (Figure 6.1). Many species are obligate corallivores, and thus depend on the live tissue of corals for their food. We believe that these species of butterflyfishes are excellent candidates for indicators of changes in conditions on the coral ...

Speciation in coral‐reef fishes

Journal of Fish Biology, 2008
Covering <0·1% of the ocean’s surface, coral reefs harbour about one‐third of all marine fishes or c. 5000 species. Allopatry (geographic isolation) is believed to be the primary mode of speciation, yet few biogeographic barriers exist between reefs, and most reef fishes have a pelagic larval stage capable of extensive dispersal.

Ecology of Fishes on Coral Reefs

Marine Biology Research, 2015
The local diversity and global richness of coral reef fishes, along with the diversity manifested in their morphology, behaviour and ecology, provides fascinating and diverse opportunities for study. Reflecting the very latest research in a broad and ever-growing field, this comprehensive guide is a must-read for anyone interested in the ecology of ...

Fishing down the largest coral reef fish species

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2014
Studies on remote, uninhabited, near-pristine reefs have revealed surprisingly large populations of large reef fish. Locations such as the northwestern Hawaiian Islands, northern Marianas Islands, Line Islands, U.S. remote Pacific Islands, Cocos-Keeling Atoll and Chagos archipelago have much higher reef fish biomass than islands and reefs near people ...

Pseudomacrostomism in coral reef fish

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1981
Distinctive colour bands which give the false impression of large mouth size are common among the Balistidae, Labridae, and Scaridae. A preliminary interpretation of pseudomacrostomism function is given.

Interoceanic Differences in the Reproduction of Coral-Reef Fishes

Science, 1982
Eggs of demersal spawning coral-reef fishes of the tropical western Atlantic are smaller than those of related species in the western Pacific. Decreased egg volume may result in increased fecundity per unit body weight of Atlantic species, a factor that may underlie apparent differences in the stability of the respective coral-reef fish communities.
