Coastal zone utilization by juvenile fish in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
Many coastal fish exhibit age-specific differential distribution and shallow inshore regiong provide nursery habitats for juveniles of some species. In this study the occurrence of juvenile fish along the Eastern Cape coast was examined with the objective of assessing the importance of coastal …

Modeling of weak scatterers in a transducer beam
… conducted to validate model predictions. Single fish eggs and water cylinders in agar were scanned throughout the focal plane of a single-element transducer, and the response was compared to the model response for a weakly scattering sphere or cylinder. A comparison of measurement scans of the …

Review and optimization of housing and husbandry of anemonefishes for use in research
As anemonefishes of the genus Amphiprion are emerging as a model organism for marine science, it is critical to have standardization in housing and husbandry protocols for research laboratories. Here, we conducted a literature review, a questionnaire survey, and two experiments regarding the …

Trophic relevance of gelatinous zooplankton for commercial fisheries in the Irish Sea
Jellyfish can compete with fish for food resources, or feed on fish eggs and larvae. They also provide habitat and space for developing larval and juvenile fish which use their hosts as means of protection from predators and feeding opportunities. However, the broader ecological relevance of …
