Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on my findings and literature review, to better preserve biodiversity and enhance ecosystem functioning, I recommend prioritizing conservation efforts in source habitats (e.g., High Relief Reefs) and habitats with varying complexity by implementing corridor reserves that facilitate the natural migration of organisms between different habitat types. I also recommend prioritizing preservation of species that possess functionally rare traits with few individuals (e.g., cleaner species) by preserving areas with greater functional diversity (e.g., Higher Relief Reefs and Forereef Deep Linear Reefs).

Download or read book Biodiversity and Ecosystem Function of Shallow Bank Systems Within Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary FKNMS written by John Selden Burke and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bank systems, clusters of shallow banks and associated channels located in the shallow waters between Florida Bay and the Florida Keys, are distinctive benthic features of Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). The banks are aggregations of Porites coral rubble and Halimeda sand covered with a veneer of seagrass, macroalgae and a wide diversity of invertebrate taxa. Bank systems provide a mosaic of essential fish habitat, such as juvenile nurseries and foraging and sheltering grounds for adults, including high densities of economically important reef fishes. Surveys of three bank systems (Moser Channel, Bamboo, and Channel Key Banks) showed that their associated fish assemblages consistently resembled assemblages of coral reefs and had higher diversity and biomass than the assemblages of surrounding basins. As in most reef fish assemblages, a high proportion of the biomass of the bank system community consisted of "homing" species that shelter in channels during the day and forage nocturnally in surrounding habitats. The species composition and the high density and diversity of the fish assemblage indicate bank systems provide a key structural component supporting the biodiversity and productivity of the FKNMS. Given their integral role in the ecology of the FKNMS and the vulnerability of bank systems to environmental and anthropogenic stressors, we recommend they receive additional protection through inclusion in a management zone better suited to protect the structure and function of these critical habitats.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This document provides the background behind and descriptions of the protocols developed for a collaborative, multi-agency effort to monitor reef fish populations in the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas. Agencies involved include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Southeast Fisheries Science Center (NOAA Fisheries), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI), the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (UM-RSMAS), and the National Park Service (NPS). This collaborative effort is the culmination of nearly three decades of independent Florida Keys monitoring programs aimed at fish populations in the region"--Executive summary.

Download or read book Coral Reef Fishes written by Peter F. Sale and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2006-07-20 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coral Reef Fishes is the successor of The Ecology of Fishes on Coral Reefs. This new edition includes provocative reviews covering the major areas of reef fish ecology. Concerns about the future health of coral reefs, and recognition that reefs and their fishes are economically important components of the coastal oceans of many tropical nations, have led to enormous growth in research directed at reef fishes. This book is much more than a simple revision of the earlier volume; it is a companion that supports and extends the earlier work. The included syntheses provides readers with the current highlights in this exciting science. * An up-to-date review of key research areas in reef fish ecology, with a bibliography including hundreds of citations, most from the last decade * Authoritative and provocative chapters written to suggest future research priorities * Includes discussions of regulation of fish populations, dispersal or site fidelity of larval reef fishes, sensory and motor capabilities of reef fish larvae, and complexities of management of reef species and communities
