The influence of prey abundance on the feeding ecology of two piscivorous species of coral reef fish (2004, background): “Rock-cods of the full size range we examined may therefore be contributing to the high mortality rates often observed for newly recruited fish (Doherty and Sale, 1985; Eckert, 1987; Meekan, 1988; Webster, 2002).”
Latitudinal shifts in coral reef fishes: why some species do and others do not shift (2014, background): “Predation within the first 7 days accounts for up to 78% mortality of recently settled juveniles in tropical reef fishes (Doherty and Sale 1986; Victor 1986; McCormick 1998), and mortality during this period is likely to have a disproportionate effect on the size of tropical populations (critical pe”
High mortality during settlement is a population bottleneck for a tropical surgeonfish (2004, background): “Since postsettlement mortality rates can decelerate rapidly as new recruits gain more experience (Doherty and Sale 1986), it is reasonable to suppose that the time of greatest risk is settlement (Hixon 1991).”
