Download or read book The butterflyfishes success on the coral reef written by Philip J. Motta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Butterflyfishes of the family Chaetodontidae are conspicuous members of almost all tropical reefs. These colorful fishes have attracted a great deal of attention from both the scientific community and especially the aquarium fish industry. At first one is tempted to say that butterflyfishes are abundant worldwide, but the evidence does not support this statement. The biomass of chaetodontids on reefs may range from 0.02-0.80%, and in terms of numbers they comprise only 0.04-0.61 % of the individuals on the reef. Yet in spite of these relatively small numbers they have been extensively studied. A quick census shows some 170 articles on or about butterfly fishes, with 78% of them being published since the 1970's. Along with the cichlids and damselfishes they might be one of the most studied and well published family of tropical fishes. Why then have chaetodontids attracted so much attention? The butterflyfishes are mostly shallow water inhabitants that are approachable and easily recognizable, making their study very feasible. Their bright coloration has provoked many hypotheses but has posed more questions about coloration than it has provided answers. And despite their apparent overall morphological similarity, their highly structured and varied social systems have made them an ideal model for such studies. The reasons for choosing these organisms are indeed as diverse as the studies themselves.
Download or read book Biology of Parrotfishes written by Andrew S. Hoey and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parrotfish are found on almost every coral reef in the world. This ubiquity and uniqueness of their feeding action make them one of the most important groups of fishes within coral reef ecosystems. But why, exactly, are parrotfish so important to reefs? Can the evolution of a particular jaw morphology and feeding action really have had such a large impact on the health and functioning of the world's coral reefs? This book introduces the reader to this fascinating group of fishes (Labridae, Scarinae), from the morphological innovation of a jaw that has the power to bite through solid calcium carbonate, to the threats currently faced by parrotfish populations around the world. It contains new insights into their diet and food processing ability, and lifehistories, and concludes with an overview of emerging and future research directions.

Download or read book Addressing Life History Information Gaps in a Data deficient Caribbean Reef Fish the Princess Parrotfish Scarus Taeniopterus written by David Delane Jones and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life history traits are critical areas of study but are largely understudied and unknown in parrotfish species (Family Scaridae). Parrotfishes are protogynous sequential hermaphrodites commonly found on coral reefs worldwide. They serve as important herbivores and have substantial commercial importance in the Caribbean. This thesis provides vital information about the age and growth as well as the sexual development and reproductive biology of princess parrotfish Scarus taeniopterus in the U.S. Caribbean. Sampling occurred in the U.S. Caribbean (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) from October 2015 to February 2020 through fishery-dependent and -independent means. A total of 759 individuals were collected and processed. Sex determination and maturity were completed through standard histological processing and interpreting of gonads. Age determination was accomplished by counting annual increments on sectioned sagittal otoliths. Total lengths of all princess parrotfish ranged from 50-314 mm. Ages ranged from 0 to 11 years. Size and age class composition by sex was representative of a protogynous hermaphrodite. This thesis provided some of the first documented von Bertalanffy parameters and length and age at sexual maturity and transition. Extensive histological examinations suggest that U.S. Caribbean princess parrotfish are batch spawners and lack primary males. Spawning occurs year-round with a potential peak in June. Spawning may be a near-daily occurrence.
