The People Behind the Science: Manini Capture Powers New Ecological Discoveries
Everything of what we are doing on the ecological aspect of our research at the IRL depends of people catching fish. Anthony Lagant working with David Lecchini from CRIOBE in Moorea Island in French Polynesia is one of those precious people. Here he is successfully capturing one of our best ecological model species the Manini (a surgeonfish: Acanthurus triostegus) in a mangrove to study the role of the environment in modulating the fish growth and metabolism. This is for the research done by our former post-doc Marcela Herrera and for the revisions of a paper that should appear in several months in a very good journal…
