“…The first one to two years post hatch juveniles spend summer and autumn in the upper surface waters of tide pools in the intertidal zone (Moring 1990) but some juveniles have also been observed at deep sea (Daborn & Gregory 1983;Davenport 1985). Tide pools offer the young shelter and food in the form of seaweed, other algae and a fluctuating availability of prey between tidal cycles (Moring 1990).…”

“…Algae are shelter to harpacticoids, a preferred prey species of juvenile lumpfish among planktonic animals and phytal species (Ingolfsson & Kristjansson 2002). As they outgrow the protective shelters of tide pools at 4-5 cm they are forced to migrate to deeper water to avoid predations (Moring 1990;Albert 2000), decreasing water temperatures and hence declining availability of algae (Moring 1990). The Norwegian sea is believed to be an important nursery area for lumpfish originating from spawning grounds off the North Atlantic coast (Holst 1993).…”

“…Both juvenile and larval lumpfish display the ventral suction disc, allowing them to cling to substrate from an early age. Larvae and small juveniles are frequently found in association to or clinging to algae (Daborn & Gregory 1983;Davenport 1985;Moring 1990),…”

“…Juvenile and larval lumpfish reside in the intertidal pool throughout their first summer and autumn, occasionally observed in the upper waters at open sea (Moring 1990), or at deep sea (Daborn & Gregory 1983;Davenport 1985). Tide pools and the inter-tidal zone provide important nurseries area for larval and juvenile lumpfish.…”

SynopsisSeasonality was investigated in an intertidal ichthyofaunal community on the west coast of South Africa. Fishes were collected monthly from 12 to 16 intertidal pools between May 1992 and May 1993, using the ichthyocide rotenone. On each occasion sampling effort was divided equally between four biologically determined shore zones, namely the cochlear, lower and upper balanoid and littorina zones. A total of 5 409 fishes belonging to 20 species and five families was collected. All fishes were intertidal residents. No seasonal trend could be found in the total density of fishes during the year, the densities of individual species, species diversity or evenness. Thus species composition remained stable over the year. The proportion of mature individuals of each species decreased in summer as a result of recruitment of juveniles at this time. This almost complete lack of seasonality was attributed to the absence of transient species from this community.

Three tidepools in the rocky intertidal zone of coastal Maine, USA, were examined before and after the passing of two hurricanes : Gloria, in 1985, and Bob, in 1991 . Surface area was little changed in one pool, and reduced in a second pool that were formed from rock . Surface area increased significantly in a third pool that had a nonpermanent border. Sand deposition on the bottom of tidepools increased in three of the five pairs of observations, and sand was not present before or after storms in the other two instances . Algal cover was generally reduced, and beds of blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) were significantly reduced or were extirpated . Fish numbers were generally lower after the storms, but numbers returned to pre-event levels in the following season . Physical and biological alterations to tidepools were often severe for the short term, but systems were resilient for the long term .
