Spawning aggregations of checkered snapper (Lutjanus decussatus) and blackspot snapper (L. fulviflamma): seasonality, lunar-phase periodicity and spatial distribution within spawning ground [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Snappers (family Lutjanidae) are important fisheries target species and some species are known to form spawning aggregations at particular spawning grounds. The present study investigated the ecological characteristics of fish aggregations of two snapper

Climate and local abundance in freshwater fishes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Identifying factors regulating variation in numbers of individuals among populations across a species' distribution is a fundamental goal in ecology. A common prediction, often referred to as the abundant-centre hypothesis, suggests that abundance is highest near the centre of a species' range.

Fish predation pressure on zooplankton in a large northern temperate lake: impact of adult predators versus juvenile predators; pp. 356–367 [PDF]
Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2018 In recent decades, a marked decrease in planktivorous fish (Osmerus eperlanus eperlanus m. spirinchus Pallas and Coregonus albula (L.)) in Lake Peipsi has stimulated research into the potential effect of fish predation on zooplankton.

Long-term change in benthopelagic fish abundance in the abyssal northeast Pacific Ocean [PDF]
, 2006 Food web structure, particularly the relative importance of bottom-up and top-down control of animal abundances, is poorly known for the Earth's largest habitats: the abyssal plains.

A hierarchical model to estimate the abundance and biomass of salmonids by using removal sampling and biometric data from multiple locations [PDF]
, 2010 We present a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate the abundance and the biomass of brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) by using removal sampling and biometric data collected at several stream sections.

Isolated reefs support stable fish communities with high abundances of regionally fished species [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 AbstractAnthropogenic impacts at isolated and inaccessible reefs are often minimal, offering rare opportunities to observe fish assemblages in a relatively undisturbed state. The remote Rowley Shoals are regarded as one of the healthiest reef systems in the Indian Ocean with demonstrated resilience to natural disturbance, no permanent human population ...
