Symbiotic relationship between the carapid fish <em>Onuxodon fowleri</em> (Ophidiiformes: Carapidae) and the pearl oyster <em>Pinctada margaritifera</em> (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Pteriidae)

Abstract: Summary:At Makemo Atoll (French Polynesia), the carapid fish Onuxodon fowleri lives in symbiosis with the black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera. Although the symbiont seems to live inside its host bivalve by using it as a shelter, additional data are still needed to better understand the exact nature of this association. For this purpose, we implemented an approach using stable isotope ratios of carbon ( 13 C/ 12 C) and nitrogen ( 15 N/ 14 N). The δ 13 C and δ 15 N values were measured in tissues of th… Show more
