Herbivory and the Resilience of Caribbean Coral Reefs: Knowledge Gaps and Implications for Management (2015, background): “…Caribbean, Scarus guacamaia, S. coelestinus, and S. coeruleus, are rare 10 Adam et al.: Herbivory and Caribbean coral reefs or absent on most reefs (Hawkins & Roberts 2003, Kramer 2003) and are most abundant in places with little or no fishing pressure (Debrot et al. 2008, Comeros-Raynal et al.…”
Effect of macroalgal competition on growth and survival of juvenile Caribbean corals (2007, background): “…levels of grazing being depleted in parts of the Caribbean by limited urchin abundance (Carpenter & Edmunds 2006) and fishing of herbivorous fishes (Hawkins & Roberts 2004), there is great concern that macroalgal communities could become a stable alternate community state of reefs (Hughes et al.…”
Using fishers' anecdotes, naturalists' observations and grey literature to reassess marine species at risk: the case of the Gulf grouper in the Gulf of California, Mexico (2005, background): “If this fish is a protogynous hermaphrodite as many of the Mycteroperca species are (Heemstra and Randall 1993), it is possible that the male breeding population size has been greatly reduced since the early 1970s, potentially with serious impacts on breeding success (Coleman et al. 1996; Hawkins an”
Body size and reserve protection affect flight initiation distance in parrotfishes (2009, background): “Terminal phase individuals predominate among parrotfishes captured by spearfishers (Turgeon, personal observations) and are relatively less common in locations with higher fishing pressure (Hawkins and Roberts 2004).”
