Anemone fish Amphiprion spp. of the Pulau Payar group of islands

Yusri Y., . and Shamala S. P., . and Siti Azizah M.N., . (2000) Anemone fish Amphiprion spp. of the Pulau Payar group of islands. [Proceedings Paper]

Amphiprion spp. represent the largest complex of anemone fish with approximately 25 species ranging all over the Indo-West Pacific region. It often varies morphologically due to ontogenic geographic melanistic hybridisation sexual and random differentiation and is very popular among aquarists. This study was carried out to study Amphiprion distribution in the Pulau Payar Marine Park consisting of Payar Lembu Kaca and Segantang islands. Four species were observed and their respective symbiont hosts were recorded. The need for coastal marine management policies in South East Asia has been recognized and has received considerable attention. Rapid uncontrolled development in the Straits of Malacca has caused the corals and many organisms dependent on the reefs to perish. It is hoped that current studies would contribute towards the conservation of the anemone fishes which are often sought after for the aquarium trade.

Abstract

Amphiprion spp. represent the largest complex of anemone fish with approximately 25 species ranging all over the Indo-West Pacific region. It often varies morphologically due to ontogenic geographic melanistic hybridisation sexual and random differentiation and is very popular among aquarists. This study was carried out to study Amphiprion distribution in the Pulau Payar Marine Park consisting of Payar Lembu Kaca and Segantang islands. Four species were observed and their respective symbiont hosts were recorded. The need for coastal marine management policies in South East Asia has been recognized and has received considerable attention. Rapid uncontrolled development in the Straits of Malacca has caused the corals and many organisms dependent on the reefs to perish. It is hoped that current studies would contribute towards the conservation of the anemone fishes which are often sought after for the aquarium trade.
