Our assessment of the impacts of the 1998 mass bleaching event on coral cover, reef structural complexity, and reef associated fishes spans 7 countries, 66 sites and 26 degrees of latitude in the Indian Ocean.
Evolutionary history and speciation dynamics are difficult to compare directly between habitats and geographic regions because few groups of marine fishes span these entities.
The excavated fossil collection contains tens of thousands of bones encompassing mammals, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and fish, and spans the last 3300 years [ 21].
Horizontal migrations of fish that span distances of hundreds of metres to tens of kilometres are common and generally related to patterns of feeding or reproduction.
Marine fish species spanning a wide range of families, habitats, feeding guilds, and trophic levels broadcast large numbers of their reproductive products into the open waters.
After examining fish teeth spanning nearly 25 million years, Dr. Martin and Mr. Scher found that there was a shift in the neodymium readings beginning 28.5 million years ago -- but in the wrong direction.
MLD and fishing locations span the neutral phase of ENSO.
Instead, with a sweeping arm movement reminiscent of a Trump Tower escalator, he suggested "a golfing and fishing complex, spanning from the hills to the Sava river".
While Taiwanese and Japanese fishing locations spanned the entire EEZ from 2011 to 2016 (Fig. 1b), fleet efforts were observed to shift south to north by season, winter to summer, respectively.
If the fishing restrictions span these patches of habitat, that could limit the "spillover" into the waters still plied by fishing boats.
