PolyQ Length of the Clock Gene Is Correlated With Pelagic Larval Duration in the Damselfishes (Pomacentridae), but Within a Species Habitat Availability Counts [PDF]
Immediately after hatching, larvae of coral reef fish leave their natal reef environment and begin their pelagic larval phase probably to avoid high predation on the reef.

Evaluating species at risk in data-limited fisheries: A productivity-susceptibility analysis for marine aquarium fish. [PDF]
Abstract The marine aquarium trade (MAT) is a significant global industry harvesting millions of wild‐caught, live coral reef fishes for public and private aquaria markets in the United States and Europe annually, while supporting fisher livelihoods in the Indo‐Pacific.

Familiarity mediated by body size predicts intraspecific aggression in farming damselfishes. [PDF]
Aggressive territoriality can have significant benefits for resource acquisition yet is a costly behaviour. Selection should therefore favour mechanisms that allow individuals to modify their behaviour to maintain and defend their territory whilst ...

Farming damselfishes shape algal turf sediment dynamics on coral reefs [PDF]
Farming damselfishes are well known for shaping benthic communities on reefs, in terms of both cultivating algae and increasing productivity. However, their capacity to shape relationships between algal turfs, detritus and sediments remains largely ...
