  • National Prioritization of Key Vulnerable Reef Fish Species for Fiji, for Targeted Research
    National prioritization of key vulnerable reef fish species for Fiji, for targeted research Coral reef fish and invertebrates sold at the Suva market. Photo by: Sangeeta Mangubhai/WCS Introduction The majority of Fiji’s population is coastal and therefore highly reliant on inshore fisheries for their subsistence and local economic needs (Hunt 1999). At least 33 percent of all animal protein consumed in Fiji comes from fish, and subsistence and artisanal fisheries contribute at least US$59.1 million to Fiji’s annual GDP (Gillett 2009). There is growing concerns for the impacts of present day harvesting rates and methods, especially for vulnerable fish and invertebrate species in Fiji. This is resulting in a progressive decline in fish belonging to higher trophic (feeding) groups, a pattern that is termed “fishing down food webs” (Pauly et al. 1998). Coral reef fish vary in their vulnerability to fishing pressure, and how well they can recover, if fishing is stopped or significantly reduced. Recovery potential relates to the rate at which a species can replace the individuals that are lost to natural mortality and to fishing. In general, the medium to larger carnivorous fish high in the food chain are thought to be more vulnerable to fishing (e.g. groupers) requiring in decades to recover, while smaller fish (e.g. herbivores such as rabbitfish) are thought be less vulnerable (Abesamis et al. 2014). Certain life history characteristics of fish species together can be good predictors of vulnerability at the population level to fishing pressure, including: (a) maximum size; (b) body growth rate; (c) lifespan; (d) natural mortality rates; (e) age at maturity; and (f) length at maturity (Abesamis et al.

Diving observations and collections of benthic observations using scuba and snorkel were made at six stations in Pago Pago Harbor, two stations in Fagatele Bay, and one station each in Vatia Bay and Fagasa Bay. The purpose of this survey was to determine the full complement of organisms greater than 0.5 mm in size, including benthic algae, macroinvertebrates and fishes, occurring at each site, and to evaluate the presence and potential impact of nonindigenous (introduced) marine species.

Several dozen of individuals were encountered at two fish landing sites in Alexandria suggesting that this species may have an established population in the southeastern Mediterranean Sea. Considering the nearness of the Suez Canal, it is likely that this new alien fish migrated through the canal. Key words: Egypt, invasive species, Lessepsian migration, Red Sea, Suez Canal Introduction The fish family of the Caesionidae is distributed throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans and The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, initiated an presently contains 23 recognized species (Froese and unprecedented migration of marine organisms from Pauly 2018).
