Conservation benefits of a large marine protected area network that spans multiple ecosystems

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely implemented tools for long‐term ocean conservation and resource management. Assessments of MPA performance have largely focused on specific ecosystems individually and have rarely evaluated performance across multiple ecosystems either in an individual MPA or across an MPA network.

Swimming Behavior of the Nudibranch Melibe leonina [PDF]

, 2002
Swimming in the nudibranch Melibe leonina consists of five types of movements that occur in the following sequence: (1) withdrawal, (2) lateral flattening, (3) a series of lateral flexions, (4) unrolling and swinging, and (5) termination.

Functions of Bidirectional Sex Change and Simultaneously Hermaphroditic Phase Gonads in the Monogamous Goby Lubricogobius exiguus

Ethology, EarlyView.
Many fishes can change their sex. The remarkable example, Lubricogobius exiguus, is a goby that can undergo bidirectional sex change with hermaphroditic gonads, containing both developed ovaries and testes (simultaneously hermaphroditic phase gonad). Based on field observations, we demonstrate that the goby experiences frequent social changes, such as ...

Effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), toad and Clarias pituitary hormogenates on spawning in the catfish: Clarias Lazera (C. and V.) and Clarias anguillaris (Linne) [PDF]

, 1985
Experiment on induced spawning of Clarias lazera and C. anguillaris using human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) freshly prepared toad and Clarias pituitary hormogenates were carried out. Clarias pituitary hormogenates induced spawning in C.

Familiarity preferences in zebrafish (Danio rerio) depend on shoal proximity

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Individuals of many species prefer to associate with familiar conspecifics from their established social group over unfamiliar conspecifics. Such familiarity preferences are thought to be adaptive and have been documented widely in many social fishes.

Growth and mechanical correlations of calcified cartilage in Batoidea: A histomorphological study using the Raja asterias model

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the growth and calcification of the appendicular skeleton in Raja asterias (Delaroche, 1809), a member of the Batoidea, to explore the relationship between histomorphology and the mechanics of batoid locomotion within the water column. Although much prior research has focused on the “tessellated pattern” in these fishes,

Settlement and post-larvae behaviour of Mytitus galtoprovincialis: field and laboratory experiments [PDF]

, 1994
11 pages, 6 figures, 3 tables.Field sampling carried out in the Rfa de Vigo (NW Spain) from 1991 to 1993 showed that Mytilus galloprovincialis settle directly from the plankton onto substrates exposed to various environmental conditions: exposed rocky ...

Abiotic environmental factors contribute to spatial variation in boldness and exploration in guppies (Poecilia reticulata)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on wild fishes has tended to overlook the role of abiotic factors in shaping behaviours associated with boldness and exploration. This oversight could exist because small‐scale variation in the abiotic environment might seem unlikely to influence such behaviours. We challenged this assumption through research in the Trinidadian guppy (
