Strong genetic divergence among populations of a marine fish with limited dispersal, Acanthochromis polyacanthus, within the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea.
Acanthochromis polyacanthus is an unusual tropical marine damselfish that uniquely lacks pelagic larvae and has lost the capacity for broad-scale dispersal among coral reefs. On the modern Great Barrier Reef (GBR), three color morphs meet and hydridize at two zones of secondary contact. Allozyme electrophoreses revealed strong differences between morphs from the southern zone but few difference...
متن کاملEffects of microplastic exposure on the body condition and behaviour of planktivorous reef fish (Acanthochromis polyacanthus)
The effect of a pollutant on the base of the food web can have knock-on effects for trophic structure and ecosystem functioning. In this study we assess the effect of microplastic exposure on juveniles of a planktivorous fish (Acanthochromis polyacanthus), a species that is widespread and abundant on Indo-Pacific coral reefs. Under five different plastic concentration treatments, with plastics ...
متن کاملBarriers to gene flow in Embiotoca jacksoni, a marine fish lacking a pelagic larval stage.
Marine species generally show high dispersal capabilities, which should be accompanied by high levels of gene flow and low speciation rates. However, studies that focused on the relationship between dispersal and gene flow in marine fishes have been inconclusive. This study focuses on the black surfperch, Embiotoca jacksoni, a temperate reef fish that lacks a pelagic larval stage and lives on a...
متن کاملInteractions between fish larvae and bacteria in marine aquaculture
Modern aquaculture provides effective means for intensive seafood production under AcontrollableB conditions. This rapidly growing industry, however, has experienced relatively severe disease problems owing to lack of control of the microbiota in rearing systems. Disease control is an inherent part of any intensive animal production system; however, in the aquatic environment, the intimate rela...
متن کاملNatural mortality of marine pelagic fish eggs and larvae: role of spatial patchiness
Daily instantaneous natural mortality rates of marine pelagic fish eggs and larvae are higher than expected from the trend of mortality rate with dry weight in the sea. The difference between observed mortality rates and those predicted from the trend of mortality with dry weight is directly and positively correlated with the patchiness of their spatial distribution, which suggests that it is c...
