“…Thus, the lower densities of damselfishes at Conch Reef may have allowed increased herbivory in restored areas. Territorial damselfishes can also modify the home ranges of numerous species of wrasses (Jones 2007), consistent with the inverse relationship we observed between S. partitus and Thalassoma bifasciatum. Accordingly, damselfishes rapidly colonizing outplanted A. cervicornis may delay or preclude the benefits of coral restoration to fish communities by inhibiting certain fish from using, aggregating, or recruiting to restored areas.…”

The global decline of corals has created an urgent need for effective, science‐based methods to augment coral populations and restore important ecosystem functions. To meet this challenge, the field of coral restoration has rapidly evolved over the past decade. However, despite widespread efforts to outplant corals and monitor survivorship, there is a shortage of information on the effects of coral restoration on reef communities or important ecosystem functions. To fill this knowledge gap, we examined the effects of restoration on three major criteria: diversity, community structure, and ecological processes. We conducted surveys of four restored sites in the Florida Keys ranging in restoration effort (500–2,300 corals outplanted) paired with surveys of nearby, unmanipulated control sites. Coral restoration successfully enhanced coral populations, increasing coral cover 4‐fold, but manifested in limited differences in coral and fish communities. Some restored sites had higher abundance of herbivorous fish, rates of herbivory, or more juvenile‐sized corals, but these effects were limited to individual reefs. Damselfish were consistently more abundant at restored compared to control sites. Despite augmenting target coral populations, 3 years of coral restoration has not facilitated many of the positive feedbacks that help reinforce coral success. In a time of increasingly frequent disturbances, it is urgent we hasten the speed at which reefs recover important ecological processes, such as herbivory and nutrient cycling, that make reefs more resistant and resilient if we are to achieve long‐term restoration success.

“…Theory indicates that larger fi sh may require larger areas for feeding and that larger fi sh are able to patrol and defend larger areas with less metabolic cost than smaller fi sh are able to do (Kramer and Chapman, 1999). Although such relationships have been observed in some marine fi shes (e.g., Jones, 2007;Taylor et al, 2007;Marshell et al, 2011), others have reported no effect of fi sh size on homerange size (e.g., Lowe et al, 2003;Afonso et al, 2008;Bellquist et al, 2008;Farmer and Ault, 2011; this study). Apparent inconsistencies with theoretical expectations may arise because the relationship between body size and home-range size applies only to comparisons among species or among life stages of a given species (e.g., Jones, 2007).…”

For example, juvenile Black Sea Bass displayed restricted use of estuarine habitats in New Jersey, rarely moving more than 120 m (Able and Hales, 1997); this geographic scale of habitat use contrasts markedly with the extent of the area used by adults during their inshore residency (this study) or throughout their life (Moser and Shepherd, 2009).…”

Abstract-Black Sea Bass (Centropristis striata) in the mid-Atlantic Bight undertake seasonal cross-shelf movements to occupy inshore rocky reefs and hardbottom habitats between spring and fall. Shelf-wide migrations of this stock are well documented, but movements and home ranges of fish during their inshore residency period have not been described. We tagged 122 Black Sea Bass with acoustic transmitters at a mid-Atlantic reef to estimate home-range size and factors that influence movements (>400 m) at a 46

“…While coral reef fishes most commonly collected for the marine aquarium trade (i.e. Pomacentridae) are typically site‐attached with home ranges of a few metres or less (Chapman & Kramer, ; Jones, ), the home ranges of acanthurids have been reported to range from 58 m to 5 km (Claisse et al ., ; Claydon, McCormick, & Jones, ; Green et al ., ; Mazeroll & Montgomery, ). Such home ranges are well in excess of typical home aquaria, with 50% of marine aquarium hobbyists maintaining aquaria with a capacity of less than 400 L (Alencastro, ).…”

The “Nemo Effect”: Perception and reality of Finding Nemo's impact on marine aquarium fisheries

Global audiences are increasingly being exposed to digital media with fictitious storylines that draw on animal characters involuntarily entering wildlife trades. An understudied problem in wildlife trade is the potential for motion pictures to influence their audience's desire to become more acquainted, often via acquisition, with animals portrayed in the films. The 2003 Disney motion picture Finding Nemo connected audiences with a wildlife trade already commonplace: the marine aquarium trade. In this trade, fisheries supply live coral reef organisms to millions of public and private aquaria worldwide. Here, we examine the perception and reality of Finding Nemo's impact (coined the “Nemo Effect”) on the fisheries of the species complex representing the film's primary protagonist “Nemo” (Amphiprion ocellaris/percula). Import and export figures show little evidence for fan‐based purchases of wild‐caught fish immediately (within 1.5 years of release) following the film. We argue that the perceived impact on these species, driven by popular media with an emotive but scientifically uninformed approach to conserving coral reef ecosystems, can be more damaging to the cause of conservation than helpful. This perspective is intended to encourage marine aquarium trade stakeholders to consider the ecological and social repercussions of both media driven consumption and opposition to the trade. Using lessons learned from Finding Nemo, we discuss the likely impacts the sequel, Finding Dory, will have on wild populations of its protagonist “Dory” (Paracanthurus hepatus).
