‘‘Swallowing it all’’ – Extreme ingestion capability of juvenile reef fish
During a predation event a juvenile grouper, rock hind Epinephelus adscensionis, fed upon the redlip blenny Ophioblennius trinitatis. It is important to highlight that both individuals had pretty much the same size during the predation event (around 5 cm); however, the grouper ingested the whole prey.
متن کاملHabitat Associations of Juvenile Fish at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia: The Importance of Coral and Algae
Habitat specificity plays a pivotal role in forming community patterns in coral reef fishes, yet considerable uncertainty remains as to the extent of this selectivity, particularly among newly settled recruits. Here we quantified habitat specificity of juvenile coral reef fish at three ecological levels; algal meadows vs. coral reefs, live vs. dead coral and among different coral morphologies. ...
متن کاملExtraction of chicken bone swallowing 10th day after ingestion with penetrating the esophageal walls
A 23-year-old male referred with a history of chicken bone swallowing a week ago (Figure 1). Endoscopy was performed at our center and a chicken bone was found penetrating the esophageal walls (Figure 2). The patient was managed successfully using flexible endoscopy and the chicken bone was removed.
متن کاملGeographic coupling of juvenile and adult habitat shapes spatial population dynamics of a coral reef fish.
Marine spatial population dynamics are often addressed with a focus on larval dispersal, without taking into account movement behavior of individuals in later life stages. Processes occurring during demersal life stages may also drive spatial population dynamics if habitat quality is perceived differently by animals belonging to different life stages. In this study, we used a dual approach to u...
متن کاملManagement implications of juvenile reef fish habitat preferences and coral susceptibility to stressors
In theHawaiianArchipelago, shelter-dependent juvenile stages ofmany reef fishes and their coral habitats are increasingly put at risk by multiple anthropogenic stressors (e.g. overfishing and habitat loss, coral bleaching and sedimentation, respectively).We assessed coral bleaching (to identify relative susceptibility among growth forms) and the use v. availability of structurally complex and s...
