Status of Benthos and Reef Fish Communities in Pujada Bay, Davao Oriental, Mindanao

Davao Research Journal, 2012
Coral reef resources, particularly corals, macrobenthos and reef fish in Pujada Bay in the southeastern coast of Mindanao were assessed in 2002 to determine their status. A one-shot standard survey methods of corals and their associate fish was conducted

Linking variation in planktonic primary production to coral reef fish growth and condition

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Within low-nutrient tropical oceans, islands and atolls with higher primary production support higher fish biomass and reef organism abundance. External energy subsidies can be delivered onto reefs via a range of physical mechanisms.

Fishing down nutrients on coral reefs [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2016
AbstractFishing is widely considered a leading cause of biodiversity loss in marine environments, but the potential effect on ecosystem processes, such as nutrient fluxes, is less explored. Here, we test how fishing on Caribbean coral reefs influences biodiversity and ecosystem functions provided by the fish community, that is, fish-mediated nutrient ...

Coral cover and reef fishes in the Karang Takat patch reef, Sumenep, Madura, Indonesia [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Karang Takat Patch Reef Sumenep is a coral reef ecosystem located between Gili Labak Island and Gili Genting Island, which means that the coral reef ecosystem is directly impacted by activities that occur on both islands.

Ecological speciation in tropical reef fishes [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005
The high biodiversity in tropical seas provides a long-standing challenge to allopatric speciation models. Physical barriers are few in the ocean and larval dispersal is often extensive, a combination that should reduce opportunities for speciation.

Colour thresholds in a coral reef fish [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
Coral reef fishes are among the most colourful animals in the world. Given the diversity of lifestyles and habitats on the reef, it is probable that in many instances coloration is a compromise between crypsis and communication. However, human observation of this coloration is biased by our primate visual system.

Regional Reef Fish Survey Design and Scaling Using High-Resolution Mapping and Analysis

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs are undergoing changes caused by coastal development, resource use, and climate change. The extent and rate of reef change demand robust and spatially explicit monitoring to support management and conservation decision-making.

Assessment of Carbon Storage of Reef Fish in Shique Beach Marine Ranching Based on Grey-Markov Model

Progress in Fishery Sciences
At present, the world is still experiencing a climate warming trend, which has severe implications for Earth's sustainable development. Increasing carbon sinks mitigates climate change and improves national and social development through carbon trade. As

Habitat specialization in tropical continental shelf demersal fish assemblages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The implications of shallow water impacts such as fishing and climate change on fish assemblages are generally considered in isolation from the distribution and abundance of these fish assemblages in adjacent deeper waters.

Extinction vulnerability of coral reef fishes [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2011
With rapidly increasing rates of contemporary extinction, predicting extinction vulnerability and identifying how multiple stressors drive non-random species loss have become key challenges in ecology. These assessments are crucial for avoiding the loss of key functional groups that sustain ecosystem processes and services.
