Abstract

Settlement events and survivorship of six bar wrasse cohorts in the lagoons surrounding the island of Moorea, French Polynesia from 1996-1997. Fieldwork was conducted in the lagoons surrounding the island of Moorea, French Polynesia and focused on the six bar wrasse (Thalassoma hardwicke). Researchers made 480 observations of settlement events (i.e., pulses of settlement to individual sites) and monitored survivorship of six bar wrasse cohorts formed by these events.

Spatio-temporal exploration of covariation among densities, environmental characteristics and strength of density-dependent mortality of reef fish, Thalassoma hardwicke.
