This is more than the 501 species reported for the entire Bolivian Amazon, which contains a potential hotspot of fish biodiversity [67].
While some detections of VHSV in the Great Lakes occurred in known invasion hotspots, most fish die-offs were not concentrated in these areas.
New Fly-Fishing Hotspot As Punta Allen, Mexico, has emerged as a fly-fishing destination, local lobstermen have been enlisted to serve as guides to where to find bonefish, tarpon and permit.
To date, 14 described species approximately half of the species in the genus are endemic to this island, suggesting that Sulawesi is a diversity hotspot for the medaka fishes.
Seamounts function as hotspots for pelagic organisms, mainly fish, which has lead to overexploitation [8].
Predation hotspots were clearly associated with high fish predator numbers and low refuge availability.
The numbers of sites where VHSV was present or absent were analyzed by chi-square statistics relative to fish and water, invasion hotspots, and site class (commercial shipping harbors, recreational boating centers, open shoreline).
Further FISH analysis revealed possible chromosome hotspots for sequence rearrangements.
Previous studies on coral reef fishes reported a marine hybrid hotspot at Christmas and Cocos Islands, located at the Indo-Pacific biogeographic border [ 34].
