In Anaa, French Polynesia, the species is har- vested as part of the subsistence catch by fishers using rockpile traps, spearguns, handmade har- poons, and baited handlines. We sampled 70 Napoleon wrasse captured by artisanal fishers of Anaa between 2015 and 2018 to assess the status of this population, and we applied data-poor fisheries models to assess the stock status of this iconic reef predator. The species was determined to be overexploited at a rate of 0.82 based on values of natural (0.14; Hoenig method) and fishing (0.58; difference of total and natural mortality) mortality as components of total mortality (0.72; Beverton-Holt estimation). The left-skewed length distribution (mean = 36 ± 13 cm SL) suggested an under-representation of large adults in the population, which would predominantly be terminal males in this sequentially hermaphroditic protogynous fish.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Coral reef habitats in the Papahanaumoku¯ akea¯ Marine National Monument (PMNM) are characterized by abundant top-level predators such as sharks and jacks. The predator assemblage is dominated both numerically and in biomass by giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis) and Galapagos sharks (Carcharhinus galapagensis). A lower diversity of predatory teleosts, particularly groupers and snappers, distinguishes the PMNM from other remote, unfished atolls in the Pacific. Most coral reef top predators are site attached to a “home” atoll, but move extensively within these atolls. Abundances of the most common sharks and jacks are highest in atoll fore reef habitats. Top predators within the PMNM forage on a diverse range of prey and exert top-down control over shallow-water reef fish assemblages.

  • Inferring Residency and Movement Patterns of Horse-Eye Jack Caranx
    Novak et al. Anim Biotelemetry (2020) 8:12 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-020-00199-8 Animal Biotelemetry TELEMETRY CASE REPORT Open Access Inferring residency and movement patterns of horse-eye jack Caranx latus in relation to a Caribbean marine protected area acoustic telemetry array Ashleigh J. Novak1*, Sarah L. Becker1, John T. Finn1, Andy J. Danylchuk1, Clayton G. Pollock2, Zandy Hillis‑Starr2 and Adrian Jordaan1 Abstract Background: Information regarding the movement ecology of horse‑eye jack Caranx latus throughout the Carib‑ bean is limited despite their prevalence. Passive acoustic telemetry was used to infer movement patterns of seven adult C. latus within Buck Island Reef National Monument (BIRNM), a no‑take marine protected area (MPA) northeast of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition, a preliminary exploration of detections recorded outside of BIRNM was used to gain knowledge of the potential for larger scale movements. Ascertaining long‑term movement patterns, includ‑ ing residency, mobility, and identifying core activity spaces can play a considerable role in how MPAs, like BIRNM, are adapted to meet the needs of mobile species. Results: High residency index values were observed for individual C. latus within the BIRNM array (mean SE: 0.913 0.04, range 0.75–1.0) across the 17 months monitored. Most fsh were also detected on receivers located± outside± BIRNM. An observed to expected detection ratio revealed that despite high residency, only 9.6% of expected transmissions were detected based on the average tag transmission rate. Network analysis revealed high individual connectivity with many of the receivers inside BIRNM and a large number of core use receivers (mean: 10.7, range 6–14) within individual networks.

Colour is silvery grey with small black spots scattered on the flanks. Widespread in tropical areas of the Indian Ocean, West and Central Distribution Pacific. In South African waters found as far south as Algoa Bay, but less common south of the Wild Coast. Common in tropical and subtropical marine habitats such as shallow coastal areas, islands, atolls in isolated shoals, often associated with Habitat reefs. Mainly in shallow water but have been recorded to depths of 188 m. Sometimes semi-resident in large estuarine systems such as Kosi Bay. Often associated with the sardine run in KwaZulu-Natal. Juveniles are common in estuaries and the surf-zone. Fish constitutes 70% of their diet, with the balance consisting of squid, Feeding mantis shrimps and other crustaceans. Migratory. Recent studies using acoustic telemetry have shown that adults undertake extensive movements along the South African coast. Following Movement spawning in southern Mozambique, adults have been recorded moving as far south as Port St Johns before returning to the same spawning site the following year. www.saambr.org.za They mature at a length of 60-65cm fork length and an age of 3-4 years. They spawn during the warmer summer months, peaking between Reproduction November to December over the full moon.
