Low Ectoparasite Loads and Interactions With Cleaner Fish Among Amphiprion Anemonefish

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Interactions between ectoparasites, reef fishes and cleaner species are well documented; however, anemonefishes (Amphiprioninae) have been largely overlooked in this context. A hypothesis proposed as early as 1869 suggests that anemonefishes may experience reduced ectoparasite loads due to their symbiotic association with venomous host sea ...

Responses of Reef Fish Populations to Similar Environmental Changes Across Distant Oceanic Islands

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are among the most remote and understudied regions of the planet, yet they harbour unique reef fish communities that are increasingly vulnerable to global environmental change. Because these islands are geographically isolated, their populations are often assumed to respond mainly to local environmental conditions.

Chronic and punctuated changes in subtropical reef fish assemblages

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Understanding temporal changes in marine biodiversity is crucial for managing and conserving reef ecosystems in the face of global environmental shifts. Although biodiversity changes at global and regional scales often differ, the role of subtropical systems in these patterns has been relatively understudied until recently.

Anthropogenic noise increases fish mortality by predation

Nature Communications, 2016
Little evidence exists on whether human-generated noise directly affects survival of wildlife. Here, Simpson et al. show that damselfish exposed to motorboat noise have elevated metabolic rates, reduced responses to predatory attacks, and suffer ...

Parasites and cleaning behaviour in damselfishes [PDF]

, 2016
Pomacentrids (damselfishes) are one of the most common and diverse group of marine fishes foundon coral reefs. However, their digenean fauna and cleaning interactions with the bluestreak cleanerwrasse, Labroides dimidiatus, are poorly studied. This thesis explores the digenean trematode faunain damselfishes from Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef (GBR),

Contrasting Responses in the Niches of Two Coral Reef Herbivores Along a Gradient of Habitat Disturbance in the Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Habitat modification of coral reefs is becoming increasingly common due to increases in coastal urban populations. Coral reef fish are highly dependent on benthic habitat; however, information on species-specific responses to habitat change, in ...

The Distribution of Planktivorous Damselfishes (Pomacentridae) on the Great Barrier Reef and the Relative Influences of Habitat and Predation

Diversity, 2019
Planktivorous damselfishes (Pomacentridae) are diverse and abundant on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), are important prey for commercially harvested coral trout (Plectropomus spp.) and their feeding mode plays a central role in transferring energy from the

Space partitioning among damselfishes in the Caribbean coast of Panama: the role of habitat preferences

Neotropical Ichthyology
This study aimed to assess abundance and habitat use by juvenile and adult damselfishes, as much as the benthic cover of different reefs on Isla Colon, Bocas del Toro, Panama.

As you weed, so shall you reap: on the origin of algaculture in damselfish

BMC Biology, 2010
Within their territories, damselfish cultivate particular algae for consumption. A recent study in BMC Evolutionary Biology shows extensive variation among and within fish species in the composition of these algal 'gardens', varying from monocultures to ...

Altrichthys alelia, a new brooding damselfish (Teleostei, Perciformes, Pomacentridae) from Busuanga Island, Philippines

ZooKeys, 2017
A new species of damselfish, Altrichthys alelia sp. n. is described from specimens collected in shallow water (1–8m depth) off Busuanga Island, Palawan Province, Philippines. It differs from the other two species in the genus, A.
