Biology of Reef Fishes
Various
biological aspects of reef-associated fishes are studied. Preliminary
research on distribution, as well as the foods and reproductive
behaviors of key species inhabiting North Carolina reefs have been
completed. Effort has been made to study larval distribution patterns
using nets and light traps. In addition, research has been
initiated on reproductive patterns of various coral reef fishes
in the Florida Keys. More recent research also involves the
culture of valuable marine ornamental species.
