Oceanic, Latitudinal, and Sex-Specific Variation in Demography of a Tropical Deepwater Snapper across the Indo-Pacific Region

Abstract: Deepwater tropical fisheries provide an important source of income and protein to Pacific and Indian Ocean coastal communities who are highly dependent on fish for food security. The development of quantitative assessments and management strategies for these deepwater fisheries has been hindered by insufficient biological and fisheries data. We examine the age-specific demography of the pygmy ruby snapper Etelis carbunculus, an important target species in tropical deepwater fisheries, across 90 • of longitude … Show more

“…Williams et al . () provided a similar hypothesis to explain higher growth rates of female Etelis carbunculus Cuvier 1828, a deepwater lutjanid. Patterns of sexual dimorphism, such as that observed for L. gibbus , can complicate assessments of population status, especially in cases where the primary data source is abundance and length frequencies from fishery‐dependent or independent surveys (Taylor et al ., ).…”

“…The extended longevity observed for L. gibbus in southern New Caledonia relative to that reported for the species elsewhere is likely a function of environmental influences (including water temperature, food availability and competition), fishing pressure, genetics, or, most probably, a combination of factors (Conover et al ., ). The ability of individuals to reach greater longevity and larger body sizes at higher latitudes, where water temperature are generally cooler, has been documented in a number of shallow and deep‐water fish species with distributions spanning broad latitudinal and temperature ranges (Andrews et al ., ; Berumen et al ., ; Robertson et al ., ; Trip et al ., ; Williams et al ., ). At c .…”

“…Many Indo-Pacific fisheries that target tropical and subtropical deepwater snappers (Lutjanidae) are considered data poor with limited fisheries information and few reliable, detailed life history studies (Williams et al, 2012(Williams et al, , 2013Newman et al, 2015). The available information indicates that Pristipomoides species have long life spans (>30 years), slow to moderate growth rates, and low levels of natural mortality (Newman et al 1 ;Newman and Dunk, 2003;Andrews et al, 2012).…”
