M any reef fishes, such as wrasses, parrotfishes, groupers and angelfishes, spawn pelagic eggs into the water column (review in Thresher, 1984). The fecundity (reproductive effort) of these fishes has been estimated mostly from gonad weight or the number of mature eggs in the ovary (Feddern, 1965; Blaxter, 1969; Robertson and Warner, 1978; Warner and Robertson, 1978; Wootton, 1990). It is known, however, that females do not usually release all ripening eggs in the ovaries in each spawning event…

Reproduction of French angelfish Pomacanthus paru (Teleostei: Pomacanthidae) and implications for management of the ornamental fish trade in Brazil
TLDR
The susceptibility of this species to trap fishing indicates that management of the aquarium trade through quotas of juvenile captures alone may be not effective, and management measures should focus on controlling the amount harvested by monitoring current catch rates and should consider implementing trap-free areas in important spawning grounds.
Maturation and Spawning of Striped Goby (Acentrogobius pflaumi) (Teleostei; Gobiidae) Collected in the Gwangyang Bay, Korea
Maturation and spawning of Acentrogobius pflaumi were studied using samples collected from the Gwangyang Bay, Korea, from January to December, 1999. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) of the female was…

TLDR
A population of the Hawaiian coral-reef goby was sampled over a 12-month period to determine basic demographics and reproductive parameters and compared and contrasted with those of other gobiid fishes to elucidate general differences between temperate and tropical species.
Modeling spawning strategy for sex change under social control in haremic angelfishes
TLDR
The regulated spawning frequency may be taken as a strategy to optimize the reproductive success of an individual in response to the available choices for sex change, social control, and environmental conditions.
Harem structure of the protogynous angelfish, Centropyge ferrugatus (Pomacanthidae)
TLDR
Social structure of the protogynous angelfish, Centropyge ferrugatus, was examined on the coral reefs of Sesoko Island, Okinawa, Japan, and suggests that the two harem structures may occur broadly in prot misogynous haremic fishes.
Reversed sex change by widowed males in polygynous and protogynous fishes: female removal experiments in the field
TLDR
The results suggest that such female removal experiments will contribute to the discovery of reversed sex change in the field also in other polygnous and protogynous fish species.
Age-based demography and reproductive ontogeny of angelfishes belonging to the family Pomacanthidae
TLDR
An age-based approach combined with gonad histology was used in this thesis to examine the growth and longevity, reproductive ontogeny and the mechanism underlying larger male size in the study species.
The influence of spawning periodicity on population connectivity
TLDR
This work investigates how changing the release interval affects the connectivity networks of three Caribbean species with low- to high-dispersal potential and swimming behavior and finds that spawning periodicity controls the number and persistence of network connections.

Anti-egg predator behaviors of the small angelfish Centropyge ferrugatus (Pomacanthidae)

  • 2004
TLDR
Pairs of this angelfish avoided the egg-predators by delaying mating for several minutes during courtships, and by frequent changes of spawning sites, suggesting that the delayed matings on multiple spawning sites are effective anti-egg predator behaviors.
Courtship and spawning in the emperor angelfish Pomacanthus imperator, with comments on reproduction by other pomacanthid fishes

Development of Eggs and Larvae in the Angelfish, Centropyge ferrugatus
TLDR
The present study is thought to be the seventh report on larval characteristics among theAngelfish family (Thresher, 1984; Leis and Rennis, 1982; Okiyama, 1988) and a brief comparison is made with other studies of angelfish.

Sexual patterns in the labroid fishes of the Western Caribbean, II, the parrotfishes (Scaridae)
TLDR
The results of a two year investigation into the interactions of sex change, coloration, and mating behavior in nine Caribbean wrasses show that sex change from female to male appears to precede a change of coloration into the bright terminal phase.
Sperm Economy in a Coral Reef Fish, Thalassoma Bifasciatum
TLDR
Overall, sperm production is probably sufficiently costly that males have been selected to allocate sperm carefully among their frequent daily spawns.
Social and Reproductive Behavior of Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus (Pomacanthidae) at Bantayan Island, Philippines, with Notes on Pomacanthid Relationships
TLDR
The presence of single male, two-female social groups demonstrates that the species is polygamous, and size-related dominance hierarchies and close phylogenetic relationships to sex-changing pomacanthids suggest protogynous hermaphroditism in this species.

TLDR
Thalassoma bifasciatum is a protogynous wrasse with (partial) sexual dimorphism and male dichromatism with many similarities to pair spawning, which occurs in well-populated reef areas only.
