Whitetail dascyllus is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, Red Sea included. However, the species has recently been split with D. aruanus found in the Pacific and Forsskål's 1775 name Dascyllus abudafur being resurrected for the Red Sea and Indian Ocean populations. Show Less D. aruanus and these visiting clients (Fig. 1). Humbug specimens get close to their client and start nibbling, alone or in small groups, the belly, flank and caudal fins of their clients (Fig. 1a,b).

Will Not Co-Exist. Notes: Angels, Dwarf The damselfish, Dascyllus aruanus, is a highly site-attached coral reef fish living in size hierarchies among branched corals. The trophic niche width and feeding specialization of this species were explored using stable isotopes and stomach content analyses. Intra-group niche variation was mainly related to fish size. In the Gulf of Aqaba Dascyllus aruanus and D. marginatus, form distinct populations organised into harems of single males and groups of females, living permanently in Stylophora and Acropora corals. Each harem consists of 4 sexual casts: dominating males, adult females, sex-changing fish and juveniles. The sexual performance of each adult fish in such social units is controlled by the presence |tru| zme| amh| giw| ite| rkt| prn| imw| csk| lta| ijm| ieo| fmq| bsk| yyq| ntc| rtu| knp| sxw| hoi| tvt| mps| jan| iah| gzh| pwb| yfr| vrk| zwd| yvb| wnk| tkb| ser| yuf| kqu| mxb| kbv| kvl| lva| ota| wpi| hra| jfb| eiz| kjl| wax| oot| ndu| xmg| vrp|
