Sustained swimming abilities of the late pelagic stages of coral reef fishes
Open accessAbstract
The sustained swimming abilities of the late pelagic stages of 9 families of reef fishes were measured at 13.5 cm S ' There was a 25-fold difference in abilities among the families.Acanthurid juveniles swam on average for 194 3 h, covering the equivalent of 94.4 km.In comparison nemipterids swam for only 7.4 h, the equivalent of 3.6 km.The distances covered by other taxa ranged from 8 3 to 62.2 km.Among the families swimming ability was related to size and age but this relationship explained little of the variation present (R2 = 0.403).Our results demonstrate that the pelagic stages of reef fishes are competent swimmers and capable of actively modifying their dispersal.This has direct implicat~ons on the replenishment of reef fish populations, especially with respect to mechanisms for self-seeding and maintenance of regional biogeographical patterns.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
