Many fishes are thought to make diel, seasonal and/or ontogenetic migrations among seagrass, mangrove, and coral reef habitats. However, most evidence of such movement has been inferred from density and size structure differences among these habitats in tropical waters. The aim of the present study was to directly evaluate multiple habitat use by an ecologically and economically important reef fish, the gray snapper Lutjanus griseus, in subtropical waters. An integrated set of activities was conducted, including tagging and tracking of individuals and underwater video photography to examine the spatial and temporal dynamics of movements among neighboring mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef habitats in the northern Florida Keys, USA. Results of ultrasonic acoustic and mini-archival tagging indicated that L. griseus exhibits: (1) a distinct diel migration pattern, whereby shallow seagrass beds are frequented nocturnally and mangroves and other habitats with complex structure are occupied diurnally, and (2) bay-to-ocean movement, occurring during the known spawning season of L. griseus in this region. Video photography confirmed diel movement among seagrass and mangrove habitats. Results of this subtropical study corroborate direct and indirect evidence obtained in tropical waters of multiple inshore habitat use by L. griseus, as well as its seasonal movement into or towards offshore reefs. For resource managers charged with designing and implementing management plans for subtropical coastal habitats and fisheries, our findings provide direct support for the strategy of conserving both inshore seagrass and mangrove habitats as well as offshore coral reefs.KEY WORDS: Diel · Seasonal · Gray snapper · Movement · Mangrove · Seagrass · Reef · Acoustic tagging · Underwater video Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisherMar Ecol Prog Ser 380: [255][256][257][258][259][260][261][262][263][264][265][266][267][268][269] 2009 structure (e.g. Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2002, Nagelkerken 2007, dietary isotopes, and gut content analysis (Harrigan et al. 1989, Cocheret de la Morinière et al. 2003 or from otolith microchemistry (Chittaro et al. 2004). Recent work in Atlantic and Caribbean waters strongly suggests mangrove and seagrass 'back-reef' areas are a critical ontogenetic link in the life cycle of a number of coral reef fishes, serving as important nurseries for juveniles (e.g. Nagelkerken et al. 2000, Serafy et al. 2003, Mumby et al. 2004, Adams et al. 2006, Dorenbosch et al. 2007). Three recent reviews examining mangroves as fish habitat (Faunce & Serafy 2006, Nagelkerken 2007, Nagelkerken et al. 2008 have noted the dearth of direct evidence of fish movement among mangroves and other coastal habitats. Such species-specific data are needed to begin to quantify the contributions made by adjacent, shallow-water habitats in the life cycles and sustainability of managed fish species (Beck et al. 2001).Nearshore mangrove and seagrass habitats along the southern Florida (USA...

“…Most research on the home range of fishes has focused on freshwater taxa (Lyons & Lucas 2002), reefassociated fishes (Holland et al 1996, Zeller 1997, Eristhee & Oxenford 2001, seagrass or kelp bedassociated fishes (Topping et al 2005, Jadot et al 2006, and demersal fishes (Lembo et al 2002, Jorgensen et al 2006, Schroepfer & Szedlmayer 2006, Tolimieri et al 2009). Measurement of home ranges for pelagic fishes does not appear to have been examined.…”

Quantification of the movements and home ranges of highly mobile marine species is a challenging prerequisite for a more complete understanding of their ecology. Caranx crysos is a pelagic carangid found in large schools over the mid-shelf of the northern Gulf of Mexico. Twentythree C. crysos were surgically implanted with acoustic transmitters, and their positions were localized around a petroleum platform complex in the Gulf of Mexico using a hydrophone network. Fish were tracked during August 2005 for 23 d, and home ranges were calculated for individual fish over the daily, diel, and entire study period. Most fish showed a preference for a discrete area within the platform complex: 11 fish had a range centroid near one platform for at least 7 d, and 9 fish had a range centroid near one platform for at least 3 d. Only 3 fish showed no preference for a particular site within the platform complex. Mean core daily range varied from 373 to 2202 m 2 , while the 95% daily range was between 3082 and 14 333 m 2 . Evidence for diel differences in habitat use was also apparent. Hydrophones detected more transmissions during the day than during the night; however, only 3 fish had significantly larger home ranges during the day than during the night. There was a significant correlation between fish length and both the size of their overall core home range and the size of the 95% daily home range. Our results suggest that this schooling pelagic species establishes a home range in the vicinity of structure.

Abstract. The choice of appropriate conservation strategies for reef fishes depends on their mobility, degree of site fidelity and residence times. Here we report the results of a small-scale mark-recapture and resighting study conducted to investigate the spatial dynamics of the Argentine sandperch, Pseudopercis semifasciata. This is the flagship species of the rocky-reef fish assemblage from northern Patagonia, which has been the target of uncontrolled fishing since the early 1950s. About 19% of the fish tagged were recaptured up to four years after tagging. In total, 180 of 218 recaptured fish stayed in the reef of tagging. Thirty-six of 57 recaptures made at known locations within popular fishing areas of San José Gulf, densely covered by patchy reefs, occurred within 100 m of the tagging site, up to 793 days after tagging. Six fish were recovered more than 1 km from where they were tagged. Smaller fish were more prone to relocate, and were recovered farther from the tagging site. Fish stayed in the reefs for periods longer than a year; larger males remained longer in the same reefs. Our results indicate that relatively small reserves (in the order of a few kilometres) could be effective at protecting P. semifasciata populations within the northern Patagonian gulfs.
