Overview

Observations report decreased growth in Gray Snapper and earlier sex change in Common Snook after a cold event.

Key Points

  • Severe cold event resulted in a 46% decrease in growth for Gray Snapper, impacting their recovery.
  • Increment analysis revealed Gray Snapper growth rates improved 16–17% post-event compared to pre-event controls.
  • Common Snook exhibited earlier sex change from male to female in response to population declines exceeding 50%.
  • These changes indicate compensatory mechanisms that may help subtropical fishes adapt to environmental disturbances.
