    Proceedings of the 12th International Coral Reef Symposium, Cairns, Australia, 9-13 July 2012 13B The changing role of fishes in coral reef ecosystems Reef fish foraging associations: “Nuclear-follower” behavior or an ephemeral interaction? Pedro H. C. Pereira1,2, João L. L. Feitosa2, Laís C. T. Chaves2, Maria E. de Araújo2 1 School of Marine and Tropical Biology, James Cook University - JCU. Townsville - QLD Australia 2 Departamento de Oceanografia - Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE) Recife - Brasil. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. A widespread feeding association among reef fishes involves nuclear and attendant species. The former causes a bottom disturbance attracting several species known as followers, which feed on items exposed by this activity. Herein we propose a novel classification for foraging associations namely “ephemeral foraging association” formerly grouped together as nuclear-follower behavior. For this classification, the interaction between the goldspotted eel Myrichthys ocellatus and other six reef fish species was taken as a study case. The present study was conducted in the Tamandaré Reef Complex, Pernambuco State, Northeastern Brazil (8º44’26’’S and 35º05’11’’W). Observations were performed during daylight periods while snorkeling with a total of 55 hours of direct observation. We recorded 18 occurrences of the “ephemeral foraging association”, while 42 individuals were observed. Interactions lasted from 30 seconds to 5 minutes and total fish lengths (TL) ranged from four to ten centimeters. Most ephemeral foraging species were carnivores and territorial omnivores. Based on factors such as the way the associations are triggered, time spent in the association, cognitive reactions and territoriality of attendants the recorded interactions may be separated into a different category.

  • CORAL REEF COMMUNITIES from NATURAL RESERVES in PUERTO RICO : a Quantitative Baseline Assessment for Prospective Monitoring Programs
    Final Report CORAL REEF COMMUNITIES FROM NATURAL RESERVES IN PUERTO RICO : a quantitative baseline assessment for prospective monitoring programs Volume 2 : Cabo Rojo, La Parguera, Isla Desecheo, Isla de Mona by : Jorge (Reni) García-Sais Roberto L. Castro Jorge Sabater Clavell Milton Carlo Reef Surveys P. O. Box 3015, Lajas, P. R. 00667 [email protected] Final report submitted to the U. S. Coral Reef Initiative (CRI-NOAA) and DNER August, 2001 i PREFACE A baseline quantitative assessment of coral reef communities in Natural Reserves is one of the priorities of the U. S. Coral Reef Initiative Program (NOAA) for Puerto Rico. This work is intended to serve as the framework of a prospective research program in which the ecological health of these valuable marine ecosystems can be monitored. An expanded and more specialized research program should progressively construct a far more comprehensive characterization of the reef communities than what this initial work provides. It is intended that the better understanding of reef communities and the available scientific data made available through this research can be applied towards management programs designed at the protection of coral reefs and associated fisheries in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. More likely, this is not going to happen without a bold public awareness program running parallel to the basic scientific effort. Thus, the content of this document is simplified enough as to allow application into public outreach and education programs. This is the second of three volumes providing quantitative baseline characterizations of coral reefs from Natural Reserves in Puerto Rico. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors want to express their sincere gratitude to Mrs.

  • Review of the Benefits of No-Take Zones
    1 Preface This report was commissioned by the Wildlife Conservation Society to support a three-year project aimed at expanding the area of no-take, or replenishment, zones to at least 10% of the territorial sea of Belize by the end of 2015. It is clear from ongoing efforts to expand Belize’s no-take zones that securing support for additional fishery closures requires demonstrating to fishers and other stakeholders that such closures offer clear and specific benefits to fisheries – and to fishers. Thus, an important component of the national expansion project has been to prepare a synthesis report of the performance of no-take zones, in Belize and elsewhere, in replenishing fisheries and conserving biodiversity, with the aim of providing positive examples, elucidating the factors contributing to positive results, and developing scientific arguments and data that can be used to generate and sustain stakeholder support for no-take expansion. To this end, Dr. Craig Dahlgren, a recognized expert in marine protected areas and fisheries management, with broad experience in the Caribbean, including Belize, was contracted to prepare this synthesis report. The project involved an in-depth literature review of no-take areas and a visit to Belize to conduct consultations with staff of the Belize Fisheries Department, marine reserve managers, and fishermen, collect information and national data, and identify local examples of benefits of no-take areas. In November 2013, Dr. Dahlgren presented his preliminary results to the Replenishment Zone Project Steering Committee, and he subsequently incorporated feedback received from Steering Committee members and WCS staff in this final report.
