Hi everybody,
I need to make visual censuses of some coral reef fishes in order to know their distribution and abundance patterns on the reef during a six month period, for my BSc thesis. This information is basic to be able to estimate the bioerosion rates produced by fishes at Gorgona Island - Colombian Pacific S. Am.
The problem is that I donīt have the descriptions and pictures (or draws) of the juveniles of some of them (In the book Fishes of the tropical Eastern Pacific, Allen and Robertson, some of the species donīt have the juveniles pictures and descriptions). So if someone have or know where to find the basic literature (our library is not very good) and pictures of the following Tropical Eastern pacific species of fishes, please let me know, any help is welcome:
Scarus compressus (Osburn & Nichols, 1916) Scarus ghobban (Forsskal, 1775) Scarus perrico (Jordan & Gilbert, 1882) Scarus rubroviolaceus (Bleeker, 1847) Sufflamen verres (Gilbert & Starks, 1904) Pseudobalistes naufragium (Jordan & Starks, 1895) Arothron meleagris (Bloch & Shneider, 1801) Arothron hispidus (Linnaeus, 1758) Canthigaster punctatissima (Gunther, 1870)
Thanks Again.
Sincerely, Juan
