Response to ocean acidification in larvae of a large tropical marine fish, Rachycentron canadum.
Currently, ocean acidification is occurring at a faster rate than at any time in the last 300 million years, posing an ecological challenge to marine organisms globally. There is a critical need to understand the effects of acidification on the vulnerable larval stages of marine fishes, as there is potential for large ecological and economic impacts on fish populations and the human economies t...
متن کاملTotal mercury and methylmercury in fish from a tropical estuary
Mercury content, as methylmercury, in aquatic biota varies greatly among species from the same location. Many parameters may affect its accumulation and concentration in fish tissues. The study assessed total mercury (T-Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in the muscle, liver and gonad of Micropogonias furnieri carnivorous fish, Bagre spp. omnivorous fish and Mugil liza iliophagous fish from a pollute...
متن کاملLocal and regional rarity in a diverse tropical fish assemblage
Because most species in an ecological assemblage are rare, much of the species richness we value is due to taxa with few individuals or a restricted distribution. It has been apparent since the time of ecological pioneers such as Bates and Darwin that tropical systems have disproportionately large numbers of rare species, yet the distribution and abundance patterns of these species remain large...
متن کاملPredators favour mimicry in a tropical reef fish.
Batesian mimicry evolves when the 'umbrella' of protection provided by resemblance to a conspicuous unpalatable model species is sufficient to overcome increased predation risk associated with greater conspicuousness. However, the shape and extent of this umbrella, that is, how the level of protection provided by mimicry changes with degree of resemblance between model and mimic, is poorly know...
متن کاملMeasuring the spatial distribution of sound pressure in a fish tank under laboratory conditions (Research Article)
Sound-related behavioural studies explore the effects of sound on underwater animals in tanks under controlled laboratory conditions. In this study, we aim to assess sound pressure distributions and gradients in a small-sized water-filled tank that can be used in behavioural studies to examine anthropogenic sound effects on fish and invertebrates and to raise awareness among scientists in the f...
