Beyond the Binary: Controlling Natural Sex‐Change in Hermaphroditic Fishes

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 4, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Sex‐change in hermaphroditic fishes is a complex but natural biological phenomenon that has significant implications for aquaculture fingerling production, selective breeding, and grow‐out. Understanding the physiological, endocrinological, and molecular pathways underlying hermaphroditism in fishes offers unique opportunities to manipulate ...

Abundance patterns of reef sharks and predatory fishes on differently zoned reefs in the offshore Townsville region final report to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority [PDF]

, 2008
Sharks were counted in six 500 x 20 m transects on the slope of each reef during late March 2008. Densities of whitetip reef sharks (Triaenodon obesus) were twice as high on green reefs as on blue reefs but were twice as high on pink reefs as on green ...

Habitat connectivity in coastal environments: patterns and movements of Caribbean coral reef fishes with emphasis on Bluestriped Grunt, Haemulon sciurus [PDF]

, 2003
Habitat connectivity within tropical marine seascapes may be greatly dependent on the movement of large organisms, particularly fishes. Using visual and trap sampling within two small bays in Virgin Islands National Park/Biosphere Reserve, St. John, U.S.

Plasticity of Dispersal‐Related Larval Traits in the Clown Anemonefish Amphiprion percula

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study, we investigate whether dispersal‐related larval traits are plastic in response to parental habitat quality in a marine fish: the clown anemonefish, Amphiprion percula. Results from this study show that parents can produce different larval dispersal‐related phenotypes in response to variation in food rations, which may explain some of the

Effect of background color on the growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal microbiota of juvenile Plectropomus leopardus

Aquaculture Reports
The scale of Plectropomus leopardus breeding is continually expanding, and this has necessitated constant changes to ensure that breeding conditions are optimized. Background color is an important factor affecting fish feeding. In this study, fish (10.58

Neglected Biodiversity of Fish Assemblages Associated With Antipatharia (Black Corals) on Tropical Shallow Reef Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The role of antipatharians (black corals) in supporting tropical shallow reef fishes. ABSTRACT Addressing anthropogenic threats compromising the persistence of tropical marine ecosystems requires a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental ecological functions organisms fulfill in these realms.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of TTC39 Genes Associated with Red Skin Coloration in Plectropomus leopardus

Fishes
Despite the recognized involvement of TTC39 family genes in metabolism related to pigment deposition, their evolutionary features and potential roles in body coloration in teleost fish remain largely unexplored.

Effects of climate change on reproduction,larval development, and adult health of coral trout (Plectropomus spp.) [PDF]

, 2013
Climate change is emerging as the single greatest threat to coral-reef ecosystems.The most immediate impacts will be a loss of diversity and changes to fish community composition and may lead to eventual declines in abundance and productivity of key ...

ERK1/2 regulates melanin synthesis in fish: a case study on a colourful variety, leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus)

Frontiers in Marine Science
Understanding the molecular mechanism of melanogenesis in Plectropomus leopardus is important for exploring the pattern of skin colour variation in grouper. The research team conducted a combined transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of P. leopardus skin
