Skeletal deformities and meristic trait variations are common in the intertidal fish Bathygobius cocosensis (Perciformes-Gobiidae).

Abstract excerpt

Extreme environmental conditions, such as temperature, can lead to meristic trait variation and skeletal deformities, which may have major impacts on individual fitness. As intertidal ecosystems experience rapid temperature and physicochemical fluctuations, intertidal fish living and reproducing in these environmental conditions may have phenotypes influenced by such variable environments. The impact of...
