Life‐history constraints, short adult life span and reproductive strategies in coral reef gobies of the genus Trimma

Abstract: Body size influences many life‐history traits, with small‐bodied animals tending to have short life spans, high mortality and greater reproductive effort early in life. In this study, the authors investigated the life‐history traits and reproductive strategies of three small‐bodied coral reef gobies of the genus Trimma: Trimma benjamini, Trimma capostriatum and Trimma yanoi. The authors found all Trimma species studied attained a small body size of <25 mm, had a short life span of <140 days and experienced hig… Show more

“…In this reproductive strategy, found in coral reef gobies ( Trimma spp. ) 70 , only one type of reproductive organ is mature and functional while the non-functional organ(s) is retained in an immature state, enabling rapid sex change based on specific environmental cues (such as body size, temperature, food abundance or population density). (2) Salps are synchronous (or true) hermaphrodites that carry both mature ovaries and testes.…”

“…Although functionally simultaneous hermaphroditism in reeffishes was only reported from Serranidae (Sawada, 2022), there are a few reports on individuals with simultaneously hermaphroditic (SH) gonads in the gobies Trimma and Priolepis (Cole, 1990(Cole, , 2010Goldsworthy et al, 2022). However, the function of SH gonads is still unknown in gobies.…”
