About this document
Mortalidad Masiva de Canthigaster Rostrata (Tetraodontiformes Tetraodontidae) en La Costa Del Caribe Sur de Costa Rica by Alex Araya-Vargas is a document available to read on EtoBox.
In 2017, a mass mortality event of the reef fish Canthigaster rostrata was reported on the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, with 86 juvenile specimens collected. This phenomenon may be linked to environmental changes such as increased sea temperatures or resource depletion during their recruitment period. Similar mass mortality events have been documented in other Caribbean locations, highlighting the need for further research on the causes and implications for marine ecosystems.
