Spatial and temporal variations in the species composition of assemblages are common in many marine organisms, including fishes. Variations in the fish species composition of subtidal coral reefs have been well documented, however much less is known ...

The good and the better, sampling tropical intertidal rock pool fishes: a comparison between visual census vs. rock pool bailing method [PDF]
Numerous sampling methods have been applied to study intertidal rock pool fishes. There is limited information comparing the performance and suitability of such methods, which complicates comparisons between studies.

Intertidal rockpool icthyofauna of El Pital, La Libertad, El Salvador [PDF]
The composition of the rockpool fish community of El Pital was described. A total of 29 rockpools with volumes ranging from 0.12 to 0.83 m3 were sampled from March to September 2009 using dip nets and clove oil anesthetic solution.

The mechanisms of intertidal fish coexistence: a model [PDF]
Research into the ecology of intertidal fishes of the U.K. appears to be lacking, reportedly due to the mobility and cryptic nature of the more common species. However, some intertidal fishes contribute to the diets of commercially important species such as cod ( Gadus morhua ), haddock (

Physiological, behavioral and biochemical adaptations of intertidal fishes to hypoxia [PDF]
SummaryHypoxia survival in fish requires a well-coordinated response to either secure more O2 from the hypoxic environment or to limit the metabolic consequences of an O2 restriction at the mitochondria. Although there is a considerable amount of information available on the physiological, behavioral, biochemical and molecular responses of fish to ...

Is this rock pool suitable habitat? Fish diversity in intertidal rock pools of El Zonte, El Salvador
Occurrence, abundance, and distribution of fishes in intertidal rock pools are influenced by environmental and biological traits that determine habitat quality. Fishes actively inhabit areas that represent the most suitable habitat for their development.

Lunar synchrony and reproductive strategies of intertidal-breeding fishes [PDF]
When is the best time to breed? This is an important question, especially for fishes that breed in the intertidal zone, a dynamic habitat where conditions change rapidly and cyclically. Many intertidal fishes reproduce during the spring tides (during the

Niche-Relationships Within and Among Intertidal Reef Fish Species
Niche-related processes (e.g., density or niche-breadth compensation and competition) are fundamental to a broad understanding of community ecology and ecosystem functioning.
