Enhancing Survival Rates of Cirrhitichthys falco Larvae Through the Inorganic Fertilization Method
Aquaculture techniques for marine ornamental fish have advanced rapidly but remain in their early stages, with challenges in providing suitable food for larvae. This study investigated using inorganic fertilization to raise Cirrhitichthys falco larvae. The fertilized group (F group) received inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus (N: 700 µg L−1, P: 100 µg L−

The serotonin blocker Ketanserin reduces coral reef fish Ctenochaetus striatus aggressive behaviour during between-species social interactions [PDF]
A multitude of species engages in social interactions not only with their conspecifics but also with other species. Such interspecific interactions can be either positive, like helping, or negative, like aggressive behaviour.

High-quality habitat and facilitation ameliorate competitive effects of prior residents on new settlers [PDF]
Many species disperse during their lifetime. Two factors that can affect the performance of individuals following dispersal are the presence of conspecifics and intrinsic habitat quality at the settlement site.

We observed a novel nocturnal cleaning interaction between a giant moray eel and a clear cleaner shrimp. This observation is unique since cleaning interactions are primarily visually mediated and thus typically confined to daylight hours. The existence of nocturnal cleaning therefore implies potential temporal niche partitioning of cleaning mutualisms,

Ultraviolet absorbing compounds provide a rapid response mechanism for UV protection in some reef fish. [PDF]
The external mucus surface of reef fish contains ultraviolet absorbing compounds (UVAC), most prominently Mycosporine-like Amino Acids (MAAs). MAAs in the external mucus of reef fish are thought to act as sunscreens by preventing the damaging effects of ...

Status and prospects of the ornamental fish industry in Kenya
This paper sought to identify the existing opportunities for enhancing the production and trade of ornamental fish in the country. The findings reveal that there are opportunities for the collection of native freshwater ornamental fish species from the vast freshwater resources in the country; for the culture of marine ornamental fish; for public ...

Behavioural flexibility in animal constructions has been hypothesized to be linked with advanced cognitive abilities. In this paper, we compare two species of Tanganyikan bower‐building cichlids and show that the species building more flexible sand bowers also demonstrated better performances in a choice‐against‐preference task assessing inhibitory ...
