The researchers drew conclusions about the fish's social hierarchy based on signs of dominance such as aggressive or appeasing behaviors, occupation of territory in the tank, and body mass increase. The dominant fish grew larger compared to lower-ranked fish, suggesting the lower-ranked fish experienced growth suppression.
In Disney Pixar's 2003 film Finding Nemo and its 2016 sequel Finding Dory main characters Nemo, his father Marlin, and his mother Coral are clownfish from the species A. ocellaris. [39] The popularity of anemonefish for aquaria increased following the film's release; it is the first film associated with an increase in the numbers of those ...
Depending on her size, the female spawns about 400–1500 eggs per cycle. [6] The expected tenure of breeding females is roughly 12 years and is relatively long for a fish of its size, but is characteristic of other reef fish. [7] Why the nonbreeders continue to associate with these groups has been unclear.
Dory, the small blue fish with a bad memory from the "Finding Nemo" franchise, is a blue tang, or a Paracanthurus hepatus in scientific terms. Native to the Indo-Pacific and found in coral reefs ...
More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, [7] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct. [8] [9] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million, [10] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described.

On Thursday, the Aquarium of the Pacific released its first Marine Species Report Card, detailing the population trends of 30 coastal California species.
AquaMap for Mola mola, the ocean sunfish. AquaMaps is a collaborative project with the aim of producing computer-generated (and ultimately, expert reviewed) predicted global distribution maps for marine species on a 0.5 × 0.5 degree grid of the oceans based on data available through online species databases such as FishBase and SeaLifeBase and species occurrence records from OBIS or GBIF and ...
It has been called "the central problem of fish population dynamics" [14] and “the major problem in fisheries science". [15] Fish produce huge volumes of larvae, but the volumes are very variable and mortality is high. This makes good predictions difficult. [16] According to Daniel Pauly, [15] [17] the definitive study was made in 1999 by ...
