| dc.description.abstract | Three coral reef surgeonfishes (Acanthurus guttatus, A. triostegus, A. lineatus) and two wrasses (Thalassoma quinquevittatum, T. hardwickii) spawned year-round in American Samoa. Spawning occurred in or adjacent to the channel draining the fringing reef at specific times of day: dawn (A. lineatus), daytime (T quinquevittatum, T hardwickii), or dusk (A. guttatus, A. triostegus); and spawning time tracked seasonal changes in day length. Egg predation was high for the surgeonfishes, but predation by piscivores appeared to be low. | |
