title: Energy use, growth and survival of coral reef snapper larvae reared at elevated temperatures

description: <p>Abstract [Related publication]: The success of individuals during the pelagic larval phase is critical to maintaining healthy and viable populations of coral reef fishes; however, it is also the most environmentally sensitive and energetically demanding life stage. Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves, which could have significant effects on the development and survival of larval coral reef fishes. However, little is known about how the larvae of pelagic-spawning coral reef fishes will be affected due to the difficulty of spawning and rearing these species in captivity. In this study, we tested how elevated temperatures, similar to those occurring during a marine heatwave, affected the yolk utilization, growth, and survival of larval, Lutjanus carponotatus, a common mesopredatory fish on Indo-west Pacific coral reefs. Eggs and larvae were reared at a current-day average summer temperature (28.5 &deg;C) and two elevated temperatures (30 &deg;C and 31.5 &deg;C) until 14 d post-hatch (dph). Larvae in the elevated temperatures depleted their yolk reserves 39% faster than at the control temperature. The standard length of larvae was 55% (30 &deg;C) and 92% (31.5 &deg;C) longer in the elevated temperature treatments than the control temperature at 14 dph. Conversely, survival of larvae was 54% (30 &deg;C) and 68% (31.5 &deg;C) lower at elevated temperatures compared with the control temperature. This study provides new insights as to how the early life stages of coral reef fishes could be affected by ocean warming and marine heatwaves, with implications for their population dynamics</p>

title: Pilot study to determine phytohaemagglutinin assay as a proxy for immune response in Acanthochromis polyacanthus 

description: <p>This pilot study investigated the use of phytohaemagglutinin as a proxy for immunocompetence, phytohaemagglutinin assays are widely used across animal taxa to produce a localized cell-mediated response in vivo (e.g., inflammation, T-cell proliferation, infiltration of immune cells). This pilot study was conducted to establish whether the tropical damselfish, Acanthochromis polyacanthus, responds with a measurable swelling response to the phytohaemagglutinin injection, as compared to a phosphate buffered saline control. <br />Prior to all measurements fish were anaesthetized in dilute clove oil and sea water and placed dorsal side up. The thickness of the fish&rsquo;s body, at the point where the posterior end of the dorsal fin joins the body, was measured using a pressure-sensitive spessimeter/calipers (Mitutoyo ABS Digimatic; accuracy 0.1 mm).</p>
<p>Following initial measurements fish were injected in the base of the caudal peduncle with either PHA or PBS. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS; pH 7.4) was made and autoclaved prior to use. PHA was created by dissolving phytohemagglutinin (L8754 Sigma-Aldrich, 45 ug 10 uL-1) in the PBS at a ratio of 1 mg PHA to 1 mL PBS. For fish that were 3 months of age 0.01 mL of either PHA or PBS was injected, while 1 year old fish 0.02 mL was used. The immunocompetence of individuals was determined by measuring the injection area with pressure sensitive calipers both pre-injection and ~18-24 hours post-injection. The difference in localized swelling pre- and post-injection was used as a proxy for immunocompetence (post-pre). To determine the efficacy of PHA, the thickness change of the injection region was tested with a linear model in with treatment (PHA vs PBS) and Age (3 months or 1 year old) as fixed factors, using R studio. </p>

title: Data from: A standardised protocol for measuring bioelectrical impedance in green turtles (Chelonia mydas)

description: <p>Dataset of the manuscript "A standardised protocol for measuring bioelectrical impedance in green turtles (Chelonia mydas)" (Kophamel et al., 2022).</p>
<p>Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is gaining popularity in wildlife studies as a portable technology for immediate and non-destructive predictions of body composition components, such as fat-free and fat masses. Successful application of BIA for field-based research requires the identification and control of potential sources of error, as well as the creation and adherence to a standardised protocol for measurement. The aim of our study was to determine sources of error and to provide a standardisation protocol to improve measurement precision of BIA on juvenile green turtles (<em>Chelonia mydas</em>) (<em>n</em>=35). We assessed the effects of altered environmental temperature (20-30&ordm;C), postprandial state (2-72 hours), and time out of the water (two hours) on five impedance parameters (Rinf, R0, R50, PhA50, and Ri) using a bioimpedance spectroscopy device. Technical reproducibility of measurements and inter-animal variability were also assessed.</p>
<p>Dataset includes parameters measured and an explanation of the codes used.</p>
<p>Formats available: .csv, .xlsx, .ods</p>
<p>Software/equipment used to create/collect the data: A handheld impedance spectroscopy analyser (SFB7, Impedimed, Brisbane, QLD, Australia) measured resistance and reactance at 256 logarithmically-spaced frequencies in the range 3-1000 kHz. Impedance measurements were recorded in replicate (n=10) with each measurement taking 800 ms.</p>
<p>Software/equipment used to manipulate/analyse the data: Recorded impedance values were analysed using Bioimp software (v5.4.0.3, ImpediMed Ltd, Brisbane, QLD, Australia), that calculates resistance (R, ohm), reactance (Xc, ohm) and phase angle (PhA, arctangent Xc/R, degrees) at each frequency and uses Cole analysis to obtain estimated resistance at infinite frequency (Rinf) and at zero frequency (R0) (Cornish et al., 1993) (for further details please refer to the manufacturer's website: <a href="https://www.impedimed.com/)">https://www.impedimed.com/)</a>.</p>

title: Data set: Vessel noise affects routine swimming and escape response of coral reef fish

description: <p>Abstract [Related Publication]: Rising noise levels in marine ecosystems are due primarily to increased human activities and have been shown to negatively affect the physiology and behaviour of fishes. However, the nature of these effects depends on the sound source. Recreational boating and shipping are two of the most common sources of anthropogenic noise on coral reefs, however their effects remain largely unknown. We examined the effects of noise from 4-stroke outboard-powered boats and ships (bulk carriers > 50,000 tonnes) on the escape response and routine swimming of whitetail damselfish (Pomacentrus chrysurus). Both 4-stroke and ship noise playbacks affected the escape response and routine swimming of whitetail damselfish, however the magnitude of the effects differed. Fish exposed to ship noise responded more slowly (higher response latency) and moved shorter distances when exposed to the stimulus compared to individuals exposed to 4-stroke noise. Our study suggests that exposure to anthropogenic noise increases the vulnerability of individuals to predation and corroborates that the effects of noise on fish depend on the noise source. Our results highlight the need to consider the impact of anthropogenic noise in future marine management plans, particularly recreational boating and commercial shipping, which are two of the most common sources of anthropogenic noise on coral reefs. </p><p>Dataset consists of a spreadsheet recording the escape response and routine swimming variables of individuals exposed to three different acoustic treatments.</p><p>The full methodology is available in the Open Access publication shown in the Related Publications link below.</p><p> </p>
