Itzkowitz, M. Haley, C. Otis, D. Evers Biology Department Lehigh University Bethlehem, PA, 18015 ABSTRACT: A submersible was used to make repetitive dives in Jamaica to depths of 2S m 50 m, and 100m. With increasing depth there was a decline in both species and the numbe; of individuals. The territorial damselfish and mixed-species groups of herbivorous fishes were conspicuously absent at 100m. Few unique species appeared with increasing depth and thus the deep community resembled depauperate versions of the shallower communities. Twelve species were shared between the 3 depths but there was no significant correlation in ranked relative abundance.

Hoyt S. Vandenberg is a 523’ steel hulled missile tracking ship that was intentionally sunk seven miles off Key West, Florida, on May 27, 2009, to serve as a recreational diving and fishing artificial reef. The ship lies in 140’ of water; at its broadest point the deck is 71’ wide, creating habitat from 45’ to the sandy bottom. The Vandenberg is the largest artificial reef in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and the second largest in the world. The City of Key West, the Artificial Reefs of the Keys (ARK), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) worked closely to obtain, clean, scuttle and sink the vessel, as well as raise funds for the effort. Prior to the sinking, the Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF) was contracted by the FWC to conduct a study with pre- and post-deployment monitoring of the fish assemblages associated with the Vandenberg and adjacent reef areas for a period of one year.

Red jack, Caranx ruber. [http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/82330-Caranx-ruber, downloaded 6 March 2016] TRAITS. The red jack Caranx ruber grows to a recorded maximum length of 69cm (commonly less than 40cm) and weight of 6.8kg (Froese and Pauly, 2013). It is a laterally-flattened fish with medium sized eyes and long pectoral fins, silver in colour, tinted grey above and white below. There is an extended dark bar (golden-brow to black, with a streak of electric blue) along the back and into the lower lobe of the caudal (tail) fin (Fig. 1) which gives the species its alternative name of bar jack (Perrotta, 2004). The juveniles have six dark vertical bars. The mouth of the red jack has outer canine teeth and an inner band of teeth in the upper jaw, but the lower jaw only contains one band of teeth. DISTRIBUTION. The red jack is found in both tropical and subtropical areas of the western Atlantic Ocean and is said to be a common species (Carpenter, 2002). In the north, its limit is New Jersey, USA, and it extends south along the continental coast to Venezuela, including UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology Bermuda and the West Indies, in offshore waters (Fig. 2) (Froese and Pauly, 2013). It has also been reported far offshore at Saint Helena in the south central Atlantic (Edwards, 1993).

Illustration MEDIA SPOTLIGHT Coral Reef Food Web Journey Through the Trophic Levels of a Food Web For the complete illustrations with media resources, visit: http://education.nationalgeographic.com/media/coral-reef-food-web/ A food web consists of all the food chains in a single ecosystem. Each living thing in an ecosystem is part of multiple food chains. Each food chain is one possible path that energy and nutrients may take as they move through the ecosystem. Not all energy is transferred from one trophic level to another. Energy is used by organisms at each trophic level, meaning that only part of the energy available at one trophic level is passed on to the next level. All of the interconnected and overlapping food chains in an ecosystem make up a food web. Similarly, a single organism can serve more than one role in a food web. For example, a queen conch can be both a consumer and a detritivore, or decomposer. Food webs consist of different organism groupings called trophic levels. In this example of a coral reef, there are producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers make up the first trophic level. A producer, or autotroph, is an organism that can produce its own energy and nutrients, usually through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Consumers are organisms that depend on producers or other consumers to get their food, energy, and nutrition. There are many different types of consumers.
