Article Synopsis
- Diel partitioning of marine animals, where species occupy different habitats or times of day, is often overlooked in ecological research, especially in daylight sampling.
- A study conducted on 54 reefs around Australia found significant differences between day and night species occupancy, with tropical reefs showcasing a striking contrast where daytime fishes were largely absent at night, while nocturnal invertebrates emerged.
- The findings suggest that understanding nocturnal behaviors is crucial for accurately assessing reef ecosystems, as failing to observe these patterns could lead to a significant gap in ecological knowledge and management strategies.
Regular monitoring is an important component of the successful management of pelagic animals of interest to commercial fisheries. Here we provide a biomass estimate for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the eastern sector of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) Division 58.4.
