Worldwide, increasing coastal development has played a major role in shaping coral reef species assemblages, but the mechanisms underpinning distribution patterns remain poorly understood. Recent research demonstrated delayed larval fishes exposed to suspended sediment, highlighting need further understand interaction between sediment as stressor and energetically costly activities such growth that are essential support biological fitness. We examined gill morphology microbiome clownfish...
It is hard to find a definition of gill health in the literature although there lot information on changes structure as result infectious and non-infectious challenge. How these relate overall fish sometimes not clear. Interaction between gill, fish, range anticipated environment will have currently unknown effect marine aquaculture production. To degree, likely be able ameliorate certain changes, such compensating for slightly elevated carbon dioxide, however actions may come at cost...
Reduced water quality, in particular increases suspended sediments, has been linked to declines fish abundance on coral reefs. Changes gill structure induced by sediments have hypothesized impair function and may provide a mechanistic basis for the observed declines; yet, evidence this is lacking. We exposed juveniles of three reef species ( Amphiprion melanopus , percula Acanthochromis polyacanthus ) (0–180 mg l −1 7 days examined changes metabolic performance (i.e. oxygen consumption)....
Investigating the role of visual information in animal communication often involves experimental presentation live stimuli, mirrors, dummies, still images, video recordings or computer animations. In recent years animations have received increased attention, as this technology allows moving stimuli that exhibit a fully standardized behaviour. However, whether simple animated 2D-still images conspecific and heterospecific stimulus animals can elicit detailed behavioural responses test is...
