Mortality is associated with social rank in the clown anemonefish (Amphiprion percula)

Elucidating the causes of post-recruitment mortality is a vital step toward understanding the population dynamics of coral reef fishes. Predation is often considered to be the primary proximate cause of mortality. It has, however, proven difficult to discern the relative contributions of predation and other processes, such as competition for food, shelter, or mates, to patterns of mortality. To determine which other processes might be important drivers of mortality patterns, factors related to mortality in the clown anemonefish Amphiprion percula (Lacep¿de, 1802) were examined.
