Species composition and ecological relationships of icthyofauna on artificial Liberty Ship reefs off Port Aransas, Texas : final report submitted to the Texas Coastal and Marine Council in partial fulfillment of IAC (78-79)-0869 [PDF]

, 1978
Submitted August 1978Five cruises were made to the Liberty Ship Reef off Port Aransas, Texas in June and July 1978. Collecting procedures, which included sampling by fish trap, hook and line, and long line, were relatively unchanged from previous trips ...

Status of Florida’s pillar coral population: in situ declines and ex situ successes

Frontiers in Marine Science
The population of pillar coral, Dendrogyra cylindrus, in Florida was decimated from 2013 to 2020, primarily by the emergence of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD).

Changes in population biology of three coral reef fishes in the South China Sea between 1998–1999 and 2016–2019

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2023
The decline of coral reefs and their fish has attracted worldwide attention. The South China Sea is the important center of coral reefs. Reef-fish is a crucial component in coral reef ecosystem. However, studies on the long-term variation in the biololgy

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.

A new versatile primer set targeting a short fragment of the mitochondrial COI region for metabarcoding metazoan diversity: application for characterizing coral reef fish gut contents

Frontiers in Zoology, 2013
IntroductionThe PCR-based analysis of homologous genes has become one of the most powerful approaches for species detection and identification, particularly with the recent availability of Next Generation Sequencing platforms (NGS) making it possible to ...

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

Biophysical and anthropogenic influences on the status of Tonga's coral reefs and reef fish fishery.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Despite increasing threats to Tonga's coral reefs from stressors that are both local (e.g. overfishing and pollution) and global (e.g. climate change), there is yet to be a systematic assessment of the status of the country's coral reef ecosystem and ...

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.

Taxonomic Diversity and Interannual Variation of Fish in the Lagoon of Meiji Reef (Mischief Reef), South China Sea

Biology
Coral reef fish are important groups of coral reefs, which have great economic and ecological value. Meiji Reef is a representative tropical semi-enclosed atoll in the South China Sea, with rich fish resources.

Non‐reef habitats in a tropical seascape affect density and biomass of fishes on coral reefs

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Nonreef habitats such as mangroves, seagrass, and macroalgal beds are important for foraging, spawning, and as nursery habitat for some coral reef fishes.
