FISH WITH CHIPS: TRACKING REEF FISH MOVEMENTS TO EVALUATE SIZE AND CONNECTIVITY OF CARIBBEAN MARINE PROTECTED AREAS.

Fish with chips: tracking reef fish movements to evaluate size and connectivity of Caribbean marine protected areas.

Coral reefs and associated fish populations have experienced rapid decline in the Caribbean region and marine protected areas (MPAs) have been widely implemented to address this decline.The performance of no-take MPAs (i.e., marine reserves) for protecting and rebuilding fish populations is influenced by the movement of animals within and across th

Low Molecular Weight Volatile Organic Compounds Indicate Grazing by the Marine Rotifer Brachionus plicatilis on the Microalgae Microchloropsis salina

Microalgae produce specific chemicals indicative of stress and/or death.The aim of this study was to perform non-destructive monitoring of algal culture systems, in the presence and absence of grazers, to identify potential biomarkers of incipient pond crashes.Here, we report ten volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are robustly generated by the
