Impacts of the live reef fish trade on populations of coral reef fish off northern Borneo.
The live reef fish trade (LRFT) is one of the greatest but least-quantified sources of fishing pressure for several species of large coral reef fish across the Indo-Pacific. For the first time we quantify the localized impact of the LRFT. We collected data from three LRFT traders in northern Borneo, which yielded information on daily fishing effort and the species and mass of all fishes sold ev...
متن کاملCoral Reef Habitat Response to Climate Change Scenarios
Coral reef ecosystems are threatened by both climate change and direct anthropogenic stress. Climate change will alter the physico-chemical environment that reefs currently occupy, leaving only limited regions that are conducive to reef habitation. Identifying these regions early may aid conservation efforts and inform decisions to transplant particular coral species or groups. Here a species d...
متن کاملTerrestrial chemical cues help coral reef fish larvae locate settlement habitat surrounding islands
Understanding the degree of connectivity between coastal and island landscapes and nearby coral reefs is vital to the integrated management of terrestrial and marine environments in the tropics. Coral reef fish are capable of navigating appropriate settlement habitats following their pelagic larval phase, but the mechanisms by which they do this are unclear. The importance of olfactory cues in ...
متن کاملHabitat choice, recruitment and the response of coral reef Wshes to coral degradation
The global degradation of coral reefs is having profound eVects on the structure and species richness of associated reef Wsh assemblages. Historically, variation in the composition of Wsh communities has largely been attributed to factors aVecting settlement of reef Wsh larvae. However, the mechanisms that determine how Wsh settlers respond to diVerent stages of coral stress and the extent of c...
متن کاملAre populations of coral reef fish open or closed ?
Camilo Mora* Peter F. Sale Dept of Biology, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON, Canada N9B 3P4. *e-mail: moracamilo@ hotmail.com DISPERSAL (see Glossary) is one of the most important life-history traits involved in species evolution and persistence [1–4]. It is also the primary determinant of CONNECTIVITY among local populations, which is a vital parameter for conservation strategies based on p...
