Beach-spawning fishes from exotic locations on most continents of
the world provide spectacular examples of extreme adaptations
during the most vulnerable life cycle stages. The beauty,
intriguing biology, and importance of these charismatic fishes at
the interface of marine and terrestrial ecosystems have inspired
numerous scientific studies. Adaptations of behavior, physiology,
development, and ecology are gathered together for the first time
in this book. Beach-Spawning Fishes: Reproduction in an Endangered
Ecosystem is a comprehensive guide to beach spawning, a charismatic
animal behavior that is seen in a surprising number of teleost
species. This unexpected form of reproduction provides a window
into the ecology of coastal areas, the behaviors and physiology
necessary for fishes and their eggs to adapt to terrestrial
conditions, and the threats and challenges for conservation and
management. Beach-spawning species include important forage fishes
such as the capelin, exotic fishes such as the fugu puffer, and the
spectacular midnight runs of the California grunion.
