Aerial Vision: Unique Adaptation in an Intertidal Fish
Science, 1970Mnierpes macrocephalus , a clinid fish of rocky shores of the eastern tropical Pacific, makes frequent terrestrial sojourns. The normal fish eye is myopic in air because of curvature of the cornea. This is overcome in Mnierpes by the presence of two flattened corneal surfaces.

Site fidelity of intertidal fish to rockpools
Journal of Applied Ichthyology, 2017Gobius paganellus, Lipophrys pholis and Coryphoblennius galerita are wide‐spread intertidal fish that spend their earlier life stages in rock pools, and yet very little is known about their site fidelity behaviour. For these species, fidelity to rockpools may result in increased fitness costs in a predicted scenario of warmer sea water, due to the low ...

Ecophysiology of intertidal fish
1993The intertidal environment may be characterized by extreme changes in water temperature, pH, salinity, oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions, and these may occur on a daily basis or be influenced by season or by the prevailing weather conditions. Temperature, osmoregulatory and respiratory problems may also be exacerbated by aerial exposure in some ...

Local distribution and thermal ecology of two intertidal fishes
Oecologia, 2004Geographic variability in the physiological attributes of widely distributed species can be a result of phenotypic plasticity or can reflect evolutionary responses to a particular habitat. In the field, we assessed thermal variability in low and high intertidal pools and the distribution of resident fish species Scartichthys viridis and transitory ...

Use of the intertidal zone by fish in Nova Scotia
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1991In Nova Scotia the annual harvest of the intertidal seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum exceeds 20 000 tons. This study investigated the possible impact of removal of the seaweed on intertidal abundance of fishes and their gut contents. At sites near Lower Argyle, Nova Scotia, absolute abundance of fish in small areas with Ascophyllum removed and intact was ...

Journal of Fish Biology, 1995
Aquatic and aerial respiration of the amphibious fishes Lipophrys pholis and Periophthalmus barbarus were examined using a newly designed flow‐through respirometer system. The system allowed long‐term measurements of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release during periods of aquatic and aerial respiration. The Mo 2 of L. pholis, measured at 15° C,

Osmoregulation in Estuarine and Intertidal Fishes
2012Intertidal and estuarine fishes stand out among euryhaline fishes because of their physiological plasticity in response to frequent salinity changes and other environmental challenges, including polar ice and tropical heat. Examples are the northern killifish and tropical Nile tilapia.

Patterns of Movement in Intertidal Fishes
1988The intertidal zone frequently represents a rich source of food and shelter and as such is inhabited by a wide variety of animals. Many of them are able to withstand the changing environmental conditions and live there continuously. Others, lacking this ability, avoid the zone at low tide and occupy the area only when it is immersed.

Time and tide wait for no fish: intertidal fishes out of water
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1995Hypoxic conditions are rare in the open ocean, but may occur during low tides in tidepools. Intertidal fishes respond to low tides in a variety of ways, including avoiding the intertidal zone during low tides, respiring in the well-oxygenated layer at the surface of the water, or simply tolerating hypoxic water. A number of intertidal fish species have
