With the expanding global population, interest has increased in the sustainable aquaculture development of indigenous fishes. In Hawaiʻi, the brassy chub, Kyphosus vaigiensis , has drawn interest as a candidate species for production. However, little is known about its resilience in aquaculture settings where fish are exposed to acute, husbandry‐related stressors. To address the response of brassy chub to handling stress, we c...

The life history, distribution and diversity of fishes are largely influenced by environmental salinity. Changes in salinity affect a range of physiological processes including metabolism, nutrition, reproduction and growth. Therefore, fish can be conditioned to environmental parameters most suitable for production, where distinct traits are optimised through species‐specific manipulation of salinities. The primary purpose of...

Ecosystem resilience depends on functional redundancy (the number of species contributing similarly to an ecosystem function) and response diversity (how functionally similar species respond differently to disturbance). Here, we explore how land‐use change impacts these attributes in plant communities, using data from 18 land‐use intensity gradients that represent five biomes and > 2800 species. We identify functional groups u...
