Tracking reef fish larvae

December 29, 2008

A spine-cheek anemonefish (Premnas biaculeatus), or maroon clownfish, swims along a coral reef in Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea. As part of an international collaboration, WHOI biologist Simon Thorrold and researchers from Australia and France are tracking the dispersal of reef fish larvae among designated marine reserves in Kimbe Bay.
