California sheephead populations vary in their reproductive potential and reproductive capacity, and these differences are correlated with the natural sea surface temperature gradient. [20] Fish in cooler waters may require less energy for growth and may be able to convert more energy into reproduction than fish at warmer sites.
The Asian sheephead wrasse, as the common name indicates, is a wrasse, and thus is in the family Labridae.It has long been placed in the genus Semicossyphus, along with the California and goldspot sheephead wrasses, [2] [3] [4] but a 2016 molecular phylogenetics study suggested that it (along with its two congeners in Semicossyphus) be moved to Bodianus, as Semicossyphus was nested deep within ...
Although at least the California and Asian sheephead wrasses have been shown forming a monophyletic group with each other, both have been found nested deep within the genus Bodianus, such that the genus Semicossyphus as a whole should be lumped into Bodianus.
The three species B. darwini, B. pulcher, and B. reticulatus, commonly called the sheephead wrasses, have traditionally formed their own genus Semicossyphus. Although at least the latter two species form a monophyletic lineage with each other, [ 5 ] Semicossyphus has subsequently been synonymized with Bodianus , as molecular phylogenetics found ...
Here, sex change is age-dependent. For example, the California sheephead stays a female for four to six years before changing sex [35] since all California sheephead are born female. [38] A terminal-phase male bluehead wrasse. Bluehead wrasses begin life as males or females, but females can change sex and function as males. Young females and ...
