A faster rate of reproductive gain with body size can occur if larger males are more effective in controlling females and excluding competitors from fertilizations. The most simple consequence of this theoretical scenario, based on sexual allocation theory, is that natural breeding sex ratios are expected to be female biased in female-first sex changers, because average male fecundity will exceed that of females. A second prediction is that the intensity of sperm competition is expected to be lower in female-first sex-changing species because larger males should be able to more completely monopolize females and therefore reduce male–male competition during spawning.

  • Exploitation May Influence the Climate Resilience of Fish Populations
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Exploitation may infuence the climate resilience of fsh populations through removing high Received: 29 April 2019 Accepted: 2 July 2019 performance metabolic phenotypes Published: xx xx xxxx Murray I. Duncan 1,2, Amanda E. Bates3, Nicola C. James2 & Warren M. Potts1 Physiological rates and processes underpin the relationships between ectothermic organisms, such as fsh, and their environment. The response and persistence of fsh populations in an increasingly variable ocean is dependent on the distribution and diversity of physiological phenotypes. Growing evidence suggests that fsheries exploitation can selectively target certain physiological and behavioural phenotypes, which may shift exploited populations to altered physiological states. Here we test if commercial fsheries have the potential to do this in a “natural laboratory” along the South African coast. We compare metabolic traits of exploited and protected populations of the fsh species, Chrysoblephus laticeps, which is a major component of the South African hook and line fshery. We fnd that high-performance aerobic scope phenotypes are reduced in the fshed population. The most likely mechanism for this fnding is a positive relationship between aerobic scope and capture vulnerability in passive-gear fsheries. Our results further highlight the selective nature of capture-fsheries and suggest that exploitation has the capacity to alter climate responses of fsh populations on a physiological level. Our fnding also implicates how Marine Protected Areas, through harbouring individuals with a greater diversity of physiological traits, may provide greater fsh response diversity to environmental variability. Wild fsh populations are increasingly challenged to persist in an ocean that is being reshaped by rapidly increas- ing temperatures, acidifcation, expansion of oxygen dead zones, and higher frequencies and magnitudes of extreme weather events1–5.

  • Bait Increases the Precision in Count Data from Remote Underwater Video for Most Subtidal Reef Fish in the Warm-Temperate Agulhas Bioregion
    Vol. 471: 235–252, 2012 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published December 19 doi: 10.3354/meps10039 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Bait increases the precision in count data from remote underwater video for most subtidal reef fish in the warm-temperate Agulhas bioregion A. T. F. Bernard1,2,*, A. Götz2 1Zoology and Entomology Department, Rhodes University, Grahamstown 6139, South Africa 2Elwandle Node, South African Environmental Observation Network, Grahamstown 6139, South Africa ABSTRACT: Baited remote underwater video (BRUV) has been identified in the literature as a powerful long-term monitoring tool for subtidal rocky reef fish communities. To test this, a repeated-measures field experiment comparing unbaited remote underwater video (RUV) with BRUV was conducted in the Tsitsikamma National Park Marine Protected Area between June 2008 and February 2010. The results demonstrate that BRUV was more efficient at surveying the entire fish community, specifically invertebrate carnivores, generalist carnivores and cartilagi- nous species. On the other hand, RUV was more effective at surveying microinvertebrate carni- vores. High variability in the RUV data resulted in the method requiring a greater number of samples to achieve the same diagnostic power as BRUV. However, RUV required a shorter deployment and post-sampling video analysis time, making it more time efficient. Baited remote underwater video was more sensitive in the detection of differences in abundance between habi- tat types, while the RUV data were more prone to an intra-species methodological bias linked to the percentage of reef visible in the frame of view. The scale of the response to the presence of bait was inconsistent among species, indicating that behaviour determined the area surveyed within the bait plume of BRUV.
