Climate and local abundance in freshwater fishes [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal 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, coral and community structure: 35 years of change on Wistari Reef, Australia

open access: yesSustainable Aquatic Research, 2022
One hundred sites in 10 grids at Wistari Reef, Queensland were surveyed in 1971, 1999, and again in 2006. The abundance of taxa incorporating 205 fish species were recorded along with estimates of live coral cover and rugosity during each survey.

Spawning aggregations of checkered snapper (Lutjanus decussatus) and blackspot snapper (L. fulviflamma): seasonality, lunar-phase periodicity and spatial distribution within spawning ground [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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

Fish predation pressure on zooplankton in a large northern temperate lake: impact of adult predators versus juvenile predators; pp. 356–367 [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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.

Automating the Analysis of Fish Abundance Using Object Detection: Optimizing Animal Ecology With Deep Learning

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Aquatic ecologists routinely count animals to provide critical information for conservation and management. Increased accessibility to underwater recording equipment such as action cameras and unmanned underwater devices has allowed footage to be ...

Effects of invasive water hyacinth on fish diversity and abundance in the Lake Cluster of Pokhara Valley, Nepal

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes) invasion is a growing global issue which poses a threat to aquatic life. As in the global context, the water hyacinth invasion is increasing rapidly in the lakes of Pokhara valley which is listed in Ramsar sites. Its

Fish abundance with no fishing: predictions based on macroecological theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, 2004
SummaryFishing changes the structure of fish communities and the relative impacts of fishing are assessed usefully against a baseline. A comparable baseline in all regions is fish community structure in the absence of fishing.The structure of unexploited communities cannot always be predicted from historical data because fisheries exploitation usually ...

Spatial and Temporal Variations in Autumn Fish Assemblages in the Offshore Waters of the Yangtze Estuary

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
The offshore waters of the Yangtze Estuary are an important fish habitat, and the large gradient of environmental conditions leads to different fish assemblages.

Droplet digital PCR applied to environmental DNA, a promising method to estimate fish population abundance from humic‐rich aquatic ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2021
Measures of environmental DNA (eDNA) concentrations in water samples have the potential to be both a cost‐efficient and a nondestructive method to estimate fish population abundance.

NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES: A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics

open access: yesEcology, 2023
AbstractThe Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large‐scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the ...
