Energetic Implications of Morphological Changes between Fish Larval and Juvenile Stages Using Geometric Morphometrics of Body Shape

Lorena Martinez-Leiva et al.

Summary: This study assessed the relationship between morphology and metabolism during the development of Chelon auratus. The results showed that ETS activity is linked to individual morphology, particularly body size and posterior area. Fish body shape is a key factor influencing various traits such as swimming, foraging, mating, migrations, and predator avoidance.

Links between the timing of life-history transitions and dietary and morphological variation during early life history in the sand goby, Pomatoschistus minutus

Mikkel Jensen et al.

Summary: Bipartite life histories involve morphological changes supporting the pelagic to demersal transition and expanded prey options. In the sand goby, early changes in morphology, habitat, and diet are not synchronized, and metamorphosis seems to have limited consequence. Prey diversity increases with body length, with a shift to larger prey at settlement. These findings suggest a protracted morphological reorganization prior to demersal life and alternative prey resources.

Shifting Feeding Habits During Settlement Among Small Yellow Croakers (Larimichthys polyactis)

Yuange Chen et al.

Summary: The feeding habits of the small yellow croaker were studied in the Yangtze River estuary, revealing that dietary breadth increased with body length, and the dominance of copepods decreased as body length increased. There was a shift in diet composition from primarily feeding on copepods to ingesting larger organisms such as fishes and mysids during the settlement period.

Unexpected effects of coastal storms on trophic ecology of two rocky reef fish species

Javier Polanco-Perez et al.

Summary: This study found that summer coastal storms influenced the feeding behavior of intertidal fishes in Chile, leading to changes in the feeding interactions of two sympatric fishes. The study showed that the feeding success of Helcogrammoides chilensis was higher than that of Helcogrammoides cunninghami after the coastal storms, indicating an impact on their foraging behavior.

Mismatch between shape changes, early growth, and condition for a temperate reef fish from an oceanic island

Mauricio F. Landaeta et al.

Summary: Settlement of marine fish involves shape and ecological changes during the transition from pelagic larvae to benthic juveniles. In this study of the wrasse Pseudolabrus gayi from the south-eastern Pacific, settlers exhibited variation in mouth orientation and body shape across sites, with differences in condition and growth pre and post-settlement. The findings highlight the dynamic nature of settlement-transition period and asynchronous changes in body shape and early life-history traits.

Temperature reduces fish dispersal as larvae grow faster to their settlement size

Nuria Raventos et al.

Summary: As ocean temperatures rise, temperate fish species are experiencing reduced dispersal potential and decreased pelagic larval duration. Settlement size appears to be less affected by temperature, while increasing temperatures lead to quicker larval growth to settlement size. This could result in an assemblage-wide reduction in larval dispersal across the Mediterranean Sea, potentially isolating populations as waters warm.

Environmentally induced morphological variation in the temperate reef fish, Forsterygion lapillum (F. Tripterygiidae)

Paul E. Caiger et al.

Summary: The study investigates the phenotypic variation in triplefin fishes in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand, using geometric morphometrics and controlled rearing experiments. The results suggest that plasticity plays a key role in driving morphological differences in response to varying environmental conditions in wild populations of Forsterygion lapillum.
