Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987). 237
Microplastic and microfiber pollution has been documented in all major ocean basins. Microfibers are one of the most common microparticle pollutants along shorelines. Over 9 million tons of fibers are produced annually; 60% are synthetic and ∼25% a

Hermaphroditism is taxonomically widespread among teleost fishes and takes on many forms including simultaneous, protogynous, and protandrous hermaphroditism, bidirectional sex change, and androdioecy. The proximate mechanisms that influence the timi

The Mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus, is a widely distributed fish that has been extensively researched in the southern portion of its range (south of Cape Cod, MA). During the summers of 2003 and 2004, we studied the reproductive ecology of F. heter

We have developed a flow-through method for measuring oxygen consumption in fish which allows continuous monitoring over periods of days with good accuracy. Our goal was to determine the changes in basal metabolic rate in estuarine fish as a function

A variety of sexual selection mechanisms have been implicated to drive the variability of the male reproductive tract in internal fertilizers, while studies on external fertilizers have been largely limited to exploring the influence of sperm competi

The reproductive biology of three species in the genus Artedius (A. harringtoni, A. lateralis and A. fenestralis) was studied, including parental behaviour, mate choice, fertilization mode, gamete morphology and behaviour, and gonad morphology to hel

Rosylip sculpin Ascelichthys rhodorus spawned in the intertidal during the winter in the north-eastern Pacific. Large numbers of males typically congregated at spawning sites, where females deposited clutches. The mating system of this species was ex

In many species of marine organisms, males and females release gametes directly into the water column. Although free-spawning marine invertebrates appear to have highly variable fertilization success, in tropical reef fishes the average fertilization

Predation is a selective force hypothesized to influence the spawning behavior of coral reef fishes. This study describes and quantifies the predatory activities of 2 piscivorous (Caranx melampygus and Aphareus furca) and 2 planktivorous (Melichthys

2 AND ABSTRACT Accessory structures to the male reproductive system are known in several fami- lies of teleost, but their role in sperm production patterns and fertilization dynamics is still un- clear. The intraspecific variability in seminal vesicl
