Your help please - fish behaviour websites?

[Tazzie 0]

I wonder if you can help me please?

 

I have a list of "things" I would like to photograph like I'm sure you all do, whilst surfing online I'm struggling to find websites where I might find, for example, where and when is the best time to see jawfish with eggs, what time of year is the queen conch migration in the carribean, when does the coral spawning on the GBR take place etc etc

 

Diveworldwide and Barefoot traveller both have very simplistic calenders but mainly centre on the larger phenomemon such as where and when you're most likely to see whale sharks and that sort of thing, I am looking for soemthing a little bit more detailed and varied.

 

So, does anyone know of a website, that a non marine biologist but keen photographer wanting to learn more about the underwater environment , might be able to find the sort of information I have described please?

Very good question, I have no idea. I have found a lot of good info on wiki-pedia on my some critters. I am currently (as you could see from my website: uwworld, fascinated by squid, cuttle fish and octopi) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttlefish

 

But this is probably not quite the specific detail you are looking for. A lot of what you want may be available only by talking to the local dive shops. For example: when are the whale sharks in southern Leyte. check out the local dive shop Peters Dive resort www.whaleofadive.com ans: usually late November through early April.

Tazzie,

I agree this is a great question; also a great idea for some type of forum or list on this website, like a Wetpixel wikipedia!
