Bellwood IUCN RESILIENCE SCIENCE GROUP WORKING PAPER SERIES - NO 7 IUCN Global Marine Programme Founded in 1958, IUCN (the International Union for the Conservation of Nature) brings together states, government agencies and a diverse range of non-governmental organizations in a unique world partnership: over 100 members in all, spread across some 140 countries. As a Union, IUCN seeks to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable. The IUCN Global Marine Programme provides vital linkages for the Union and its members to all the IUCN activities that deal with marine issues, including projects and initiatives of the Regional offices and the six IUCN Commissions. The IUCN Global Marine Programme works on issues such as integrated coastal and marine management, fisheries, marine protected areas, large marine ecosystems, coral reefs, marine invasives and protection of high and deep seas. The Nature Conservancy The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. The Conservancy launched the Global Marine Initiative in 2002 to protect and restore the most resilient examples of ocean and coastal ecosystems in ways that benefit marine life, local communities and economies.

  • Ecological Relationships in Hawaiian and Johnston Island Acanthuridae (Surgeonfishes)1
    Ecological Relationships in Hawaiian and Johnston Island Acanthuridae (Surgeonfishes)1 Robert S. JONES Division of Biosciences and Marine Studies, University of Guam ABSTRACT Four genera and twenty species of the family Acanthuridae from Hawaii and Johnston Island are investigated for factors that might provide potential ecological separation of the species. The factors investigated a re habitat preference, foraging methods, food eaten, and possible morphological specializations for feeding. On the basis of habitat preference the acanthurids may be divided into mid-water, sand patch, subsurge reef, and seaward reef or surge zone dwellers. These habitats are defined in terms of acanthurid species .composition and general physiography. With regard to foraging methods and food eaten, the Acanthuridae comprise zooplankton feeders, grazers, and browsers. The zooplankton feeders actively pursue and capture copepods, crustacean larvae, and the pelagic eggs of numerous marine animals. Grazers feed predominate­ ly on a calcareous substratum rich in diatoms and detritus. The browsers feed on multicellular benthic algae of two basic types based on the size and morphology of the a lgae. At the species level several modifications in the morphology of the digestive tract are found which suggest that many of these fishes are able to handle their food in a different manner from other species. INTRODUCTION One of the largest groups of reef fishes in terms of species and biomass in the Hawaiian and Johnston Island marine environments is the family Acanthuri­ dae. For the most part the species of this family are wide-spread and frequently the most abundant of the diurnally active fishes in the littoral waters of these localities.
