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 ...

An Indo-Pacific damselfish (Neopomacentrus cyanomos) in the Gulf of Mexico: origin and mode of introduction [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The Indo-West Pacific (IWP) coral-reef damselfish Neopomacentrus cyanomos is well established across the south-west Gulf of Mexico (SwGoMx). Comparisons of mtDNA sequences of the SwGoMx population with those from conspecifics from 16 sites scattered ...

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.

Patterns of morphological evolution of the cephalic region in damselfishes (Perciformes: Pomacentridae) of the Eastern Pacific [PDF]
, 2011 peer reviewedPomacentridae are one of the most abundant fish families inhabiting reefs of tropical and temperate regions. This family, comprising 29 genera, shows a remarkable diversity of habitat preferences, feeding, and behaviours. Twenty-four species

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.

How flexible are habitat specialists? Short-term space use in obligate coral-dwelling damselfishes
, 2021 As habitats change, highly specialised species may die or be forced to relocate. However, some obligate coral-dwelling damselfishes appear to survive the localized extinction of their primary habitat, branching coral, caused by coral bleaching.

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays, are commonly housed in public aquariums due to their ecological significance and educational value. The common guitarfish (Rhinobatos rhinobatos), currently listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ by the IUCN, is particularly susceptible to population declines due to overfishing and bycatch.

, 2021 Fish often evade predators with a fast-start escape response. Studies typically examine this behaviour in still water despite water motion being an inherent feature of aquatic ecosystems.

Clarifying the Size–Frequency Relationship in Clownfish Acoustic Signals
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Body size is the principal determinant of acoustic variation in anemonefish, reflecting both the mechanics of sound production and the size‐based structure of their social hierarchies. In Amphiprion percula, the absence of a reported size‐frequency relationship has led to the interpretation that small acoustic differences are rank‐specific. We

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.Assessing the microbiome of captive Pocillopora verrucosa corals showed that populations of proposed microbial symbiont Endozoicomonas could only be maintained when corals were co‐cultured with Chromis viridis damselfish and supplied live feeds.
