Abstract:Cryptobenthic reef fish (CRF), which are benthic reef fish with body lengths of less than 50 mm, generally exhibit life history characteristics, such as a short lifespan, early maturation, high mortality, and microhabitat specialization. In this study, we investigated breeding season and population fluctuation patterns of a gobiid CRF fish Lubricogobius exiguus. At our field study site, the breeding season of L. exiguus extended from April to November. The population densities of L. exiguus fluctuated consider… Show more
