Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Florida's shallow seagrass beds experience daily diurnal fluctuations in environmental oxygen, leading to hypoxic episodes (PO2 < 2 mg L−1, ~6 kPa) that have increased in frequency and intensity in recent decades. The native Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) have been shown to employ a suite of adaptive cardiovascular, ventilatory and metabolic ...

Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...
