Osmoregulation in Estuarine and Intertidal Fishes

Fish Physiology, 2012
Intertidal 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.

A method for long-term measurement of respiration in intertidal fishes during simulated intertidal conditions

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,

Physiological Adaptations of Fishes to Tropical Intertidal Environments

Fish Physiology, 2005
Publisher Summary This chapter presents physiological adaptations of fishes to tropical intertidal environments. The chapter focuses on the tropical intertidal zone and describes the habitat types, the nature of environmental changes that fishes are likely to experience therein, and the major groups of resident fish.

Revealing Coastal Upwelling Impact on the Muscle Growth of an Intertidal Fish

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
Upwelling oceanographic phenomenon is associated with increased food availability, low seawater temperature and pH. These conditions could significantly affect food quality and, in consequence, the growth of marine species. One of the most important organismal traits is somatic growth, which is highly related to skeletal muscle.

Aerial Vision: Unique Adaptation in an Intertidal Fish

Science, 1970
Mnierpes 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, 2017
Gobius 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 ...

Local distribution and thermal ecology of two intertidal fishes

Oecologia, 2004
Geographic 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 ...
