  • A Study of Coral Reef Fishes Along a Gradient of Disturbance in the Langkawi Archipelago, Malaysia
    A Study of Coral Reef Fishes along a Gradient of Disturbance in the Langkawi Archipelago, Malaysia Karin Andersson Arbetsgruppen för Tropisk Ekologi Minor Field Study 83 Committee of Tropical Ecology Uppsala University, Sweden November 2002 Uppsala A Study of Coral Reef Fishes along a Gradient of Disturbance in the Langkawi Archipelago, Malaysia Karin Andersson Undergraduate Thesis in Biology Examensarbete i biologi, 20 poäng HT 2002 Department of Animal Ecology, Uppsala University, Sweden Supervisors: Prof. Göran Milbrink and Dr. Bo Tallmark, Uppsala University Mr Muhamad Nasir Abdul Salam, World Wide Fund for Nature, Malaysia ABSTRACT The coral reefs in the Langkawi archipelago, Malaysia, are threatened by human disturbance, mainly sediment run-off from land and fishing. The coral reefs are important as many organisms, among them the coral reef fishes, are depending on them for survival. They are also economically important as a tourist attraction and as a breeding ground for commercially important fishes. My aims were to investigate if there are any differences in the fish communities between sites with different human disturbance and to see which substrate variables that are best correlated with the fish community. I also looked at the possibility to use butterflyfishes as indicator organisms of the health of the coral reefs in the area. At four sites with different levels of human disturbance, an inventory study of the coral reef fishes, using the Fish Visual Census method, as well as their substratum, using the Line Intercept Transect method, was carried out. There are significant differences between sites with low and high disturbance concerning both fish abundance and number of fish families.

Review known spawning areas for pelagic and invertebrate species, with the aim of evaluating these sites as candidate spawning refugia. 2. Evaluate each of the project’s habitat demonstration sites as potential juvenile/pre-recruit refugia for significant demersal species. Rationale for the Two-Track Approach to the Identification of Fisheries Refugia The two main life history events for fished species are reproduction and recruitment. It was noted by the RSTC that both of these events involve movement between areas, and some species, often pelagic fishes, migrate to particular spawning areas. It was also noted that many species also utilise specific coastal habitats such as coral reefs, seagrass, and mangroves as nursery areas. In terms of the effects of fishing, most populations of fished species are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of high levels of fishing effort in areas and at times where there are high abundances of (a) stock in spawning condition, (b) juveniles and pre-recruits, or (c) pre-recruits migrating to fishing grounds.

  • Annotated Checklist of the Fish Species (Pisces) of La Réunion, Including a Red List of Threatened and Declining Species
    Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde A, Neue Serie 2: 1–168; Stuttgart, 30.IV.2009. 1 Annotated checklist of the fish species (Pisces) of La Réunion, including a Red List of threatened and declining species RONALD FR ICKE , THIE rr Y MULOCHAU , PA tr ICK DU R VILLE , PASCALE CHABANE T , Emm ANUEL TESSIE R & YVES LE T OU R NEU R Abstract An annotated checklist of the fish species of La Réunion (southwestern Indian Ocean) comprises a total of 984 species in 164 families (including 16 species which are not native). 65 species (plus 16 introduced) occur in fresh- water, with the Gobiidae as the largest freshwater fish family. 165 species (plus 16 introduced) live in transitional waters. In marine habitats, 965 species (plus two introduced) are found, with the Labridae, Serranidae and Gobiidae being the largest families; 56.7 % of these species live in shallow coral reefs, 33.7 % inside the fringing reef, 28.0 % in shallow rocky reefs, 16.8 % on sand bottoms, 14.0 % in deep reefs, 11.9 % on the reef flat, and 11.1 % in estuaries. 63 species are first records for Réunion. Zoogeographically, 65 % of the fish fauna have a widespread Indo-Pacific distribution, while only 2.6 % are Mascarene endemics, and 0.7 % Réunion endemics. The classification of the following species is changed in the present paper: Anguilla labiata (Peters, 1852) [pre- viously A. bengalensis labiata]; Microphis millepunctatus (Kaup, 1856) [previously M. brachyurus millepunctatus]; Epinephelus oceanicus (Lacepède, 1802) [previously E. fasciatus (non Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775)]; Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) [previously Apogon fasciatus]; Mulloidichthys auriflamma (Forsskål in Niebuhr, 1775) [previously Mulloidichthys vanicolensis (non Valenciennes in Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1831)]; Stegastes luteobrun- neus (Smith, 1960) [previously S.

Vor allem die anfängliche Betreuung bei der Datenaufnahme in Thailand hat mir bei der Erstellung meiner Arbeit sehr geholfen. Auch für die spontane Hilfe von Dr. Anna Fricke, sowie für die Hilfe der Mitarbeiter im Labor des ZMT Bremen möchte ich mich herzlich bedanken. Eine große Hilfe war für mich die Zusammenarbeit mit Hauke Schwieder, Swaantje Bennecke und Kristina Börder bei der Datenaufnahme in Thailand. Durch das freundschaftliche Verhältnis und ihre Hilfsbereitschaft wurde die Arbeit sehr erleichtert, und auch unvorhergesehene Probleme konnten wir gemeinsam bewältigen. Auch durch diese besondere Zusammenarbeit wurde der Aufenthalt für mich zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis, wofür ich mich herzlich bedanken will. Mein besonderer Dank gilt Hauke, der nicht nur in Thailand, sondern auch bei der weiteren Arbeit in Bremen eine große Hilfe war.

    Mantas, Dolphins and Coral Reefs – A Maldives Cruise Naturetrek Tour Report 11 - 20 February 2016 Dhoored Island (Dhaalu Atoll) Spinner Dolphin Sperm Whale fluke Oval Butterflyfish, Long-nosed Butterflyfish and Powderblue Surgeonfish Report & images compiled by Sara Frost Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Mantas, Dolphins and Coral Reefs – A Maldives Cruise Tour Report Tour Participants: Chas Anderson (cruise leader) & Sara Frost (tour leader) with 14 Naturetrek clients Summary Our week cruising around the beautiful Maldivian islands and atolls resulted in some superb marine wildlife encounters, as well as memorable purple-red sunsets over remote coral islands, a dazzling variety of colourful fish, and a visual daily feast of innumerable shades of turquoise! The highlight, for most, was the group’s encounter with a pod of Sperm Whales which were seen in pairs or individually around our boat. We enjoyed two hours of excitement as the whales surfaced and disappeared – only to resurface minutes later to the cheers of a delighted crowd! On most mornings and evenings the group enjoyed a pre-breakfast and pre-dinner snorkel on pristine reefs, where the colour and variety of fish and other marine-life was staggering. Regal Angelfish, Trumpetfish, parrotfish, sea cucumbers, Power-blue Surgeonfish, many different types of butterflyfish, Maldive Anemonefish, reef squid, triggerfish, Moorish Idols, Black-tipped and White-tipped Reef Sharks and Hawksbill Turtle were just a few of the highlights! Back on board, while cruising between atolls, islands and reefs, five confirmed species of cetacean were seen: seven Sperm Whales spraying and fluking alongside our boat, groups of 40+ Spinner Dolphins, sizeable pods of Pan-tropical Spotted Dolphins (occasionally mixing with the Spinners and all taking it in turn to enjoy pole position on the bow wave), Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin, and Common Bottlenose Dolphin.
