There’s no place like home: high site fidelity and small home range of bonefish (Albula vulpes) inhabiting fringing reef flats in Culebra, Puerto Rico
Bonefish (Albula spp.) have ecological, economic, and cultural importance throughout their tropical and subtropical range. These fish reside primarily in shallow, nearshore habitats, and their movement patterns a...

Assessing the potential for red tide (Karenia brevis) algal bloom impacts on Atlantic tarpon (Megalops atlanticus) along the southwestern coast of Florida
This study investigated the potential effects of red tide events (blooms of the toxin-producing dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis) on Atlantic tarpon (Megalops atlanticus), a long-lived migratory game fish, along th...

Bacterial communities on the gills of bonefish (Albula vulpes) in the Florida Keys and The Bahamas show spatial structure and differential abundance of disease-associated bacteria
The Caribbean bonefish species Albula vulpes is an economically important nearshore marine sport fish that has notably declined in the Florida Keys over the past 20–30 years. The reasons for this decline are uncl...

A comparison of juvenile bonefish diets in Eleuthera, The Bahamas, and Florida, U.S.
Bonefish (Albula spp.) are a popular recreational gamefish; however, there is currently limited information on bonefish early life history stages. Here we examine the diet of juvenile bonefish (Albula vulpes) in ...

Physiological stress and reflex impairment of recreationally angled bonefish in Puerto Rico
Bonefish (Albula spp.) are a popular target for recreational anglers practicing primarily catch-and-release (C&R). The effects of C&R on bonefish have been previously examined in subtropical regions of The Bahama...
