Habitat associations and aggregation of recruit fishes on Hawaiian coral reefs
"Associations with structural habitat complexity and the aggregation of individuals lessen the risk of predation, and both are commonly observed for recently settled fishes on coral reefs. On reefs fringing Hawaii Island, such recruits of many fishes, par...
Management Implications of juvenile reef fish habitat preferences and coral susceptibility to stressors
"In the Hawaiian Archipelago, shelter-dependent juvenile stages of many reef fishes and their coral habitats are increasingly put at risk by multiple anthropogenic stressors (e.g. overfishing and habitat loss, coral bleaching and sedimentation, respective...
Influences of wind-wave exposure on the distribution and density of recruit reef fishes at Kure and Pearl and Hermes Atolls, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
"This paper describes the results of a field survey designed to test the prediction that the density of benthic juveniles of shallow-reef fishes is greater on wind-wave "exposed" sectors of a pair of isolated oceanic atolls (Kure, Pearl and Hermes) at the...
