Here, we assessed abundance patterns of nearly two thousand Red Sea long dorsal fin (LDF) adults and found evidence for putative seasonal and spatial differences, likely related to differing habitat and environmental conditions. The highest abundances were outside local seasonal temperature extremes and decoupled from peaks of coral reef fish recruitment. We also found evidence for global trends in abundances related to lunar cycles using our Red Sea data and that from a recently published large collection of specimens from the DANA Expedition (1928–1930). The abundance of adult LDF <i>Schindleria</i> in relation to lunar phases differed significantly, with most <i>Schindleria</i> caught outside the full moon, and mostly during the new moon in the Red Sea and the 3rd quarter moon in the DANA collection. We further suggest that the abundances of <i>Schindleria</i> at coral reefs may be related to reproductive cycles and that these cycles may be timed with the moon as back-calculations of hatch dates from otoliths from the Red Sea significantly&nbsp;resulted after the new moon, making <i>Schindleria</i> the fastest-lived coral reef fish with the shortest generation times. <i>Schindleria</i> could be the most numerous coral reef fish in the world, for which we encourage increased research.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Year-round high abundances of the world’s smallest marine vertebrate (<i>Schindleria</i>) in the Red Sea and worldwide associations with lunar phases","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-01 01:32:11.551193","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2021,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-07-19","DateCreate":"2021-07-19","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000677492300003","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-021-93800-w"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":340173,"PubliDate":2021,"Pagination":"14261","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"11","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
