Iodine-131 (half-life of 8 days) may cause deleterious effects in marine teleosts -although 1 concentrations in tissues were not detectable. In one case, coral reef fishes from Eniwetok Atoll collected as long as 8 months after a nuclear explosion had thyroid necroalteration, suggesting a thyrotoxic level of 1 in the enviromnent. Laboratory studies with teleosts injected with I showed similar signs of histopathology. Herbivorous fishes and species that habitually consumed bivalve mollusks were the most severely affected.

Certainly the idea of equilibrium has been applied to populations of a particular species generally. Some species exhibit sequential hermaphroditism. In these species, such as many species of coral reef fishes, sex change is a normal anatomical process. Clownfish, wrasses, moray eels, gobies and other fish species are known to change sex, including reproductive functions. A school of clownfish is always built into a hierarchy with a female fish at the top (Figure 17.6). When she dies. 

Although many investigators speculate that larvae of some coral reef fishes might use chemical cues to identify suitable settlement sites (Sale 1991), there has been almost no attempt to test this hypothesis. The single available test (Sweatman 1988) is, however, an excellent example of designing assays to achieve ecological...
