• Contents: A Leap of Faith: Evolution of Beach Spawning Behavior; Overview of Biogeography and Ecology of Beach-Spawning Fishes; Fish Families with Many Intertidal Species Also Have Many Species that Spawn on Beaches; Some Lineages Indicate Independent Origins of Beach-Spawning Behavior; Some Teleost Fish Species Spawn on Beaches and Other Habitats; Lineages that Include Multiple Species of Beach-Spawning Fishes Show Multiple Independent Origins of this Behavior; The Leap of Faith, Plastic Behavior, and Evolution; ; Surf, Sand, and Beach: Physical Conditions of Shore Habitats for Fishes ; Tidal Ebb and Flow Alter Habitat Conditions Rapidly and Predictably on Beaches; Some Fish Species Are Resident in the Intertidal Zones During All Parts of the Tidal Cycle; Others Visit only at High Tide; Beach Spawning Usually Occurs During High Tides for Fishes; Beach Spawning Behavior in Fishes May Not involve Air-Breathing; Beach Spawning Occurs on Specific Substrates; Few Species of Freshwater Fishes Spawn at the Water’s Edge; Air, Fresh Water and Sea Water Have Very Different Properties As Respiratory Media; Beach Spawning Fishes Are Global in Distribution; ; Locals only: Beach Spawning Behavior in Resident intertidal Fishes ; Many Teleosts Reproduce with Pelagic Eggs; Beach Spawning Fishes Produce Demersal Eggs; Diverse Mating Behaviors and Mating Systems Are Seen in Beach-Spawning Fishes that Are Intertidal Residents; Fishes that Reside in the Rocky Intertidal Zone Spawn on the Rocky Beach; Fishes in Estuaries Spawn on Beaches at the Water’s Edge Or on Intertidal Mudflats; Summary of Beach Spawning By Resident Intertidal Fishes; ; Vacation Sex: Subtidal Fishes that Make Spawning Migrations to the Beach ; Some Species Migrate into the Rocky Intertidal Zone to Spawn; Some Species Migrate onto Gravel Beaches to Spawn; Some Fishes Migrate onto Sandy Beaches to Spawn; Some Fishes Spawn on Intertidal Or Nearshore Vegetation; Some Beach Spawning Fishes Are Anadromous Or Catadromous; Some Fishes Appear to Be Making a Transition Toward Beach Spawning; Summary for Fishes that Migrate From Other Habitats to Spawn on Beaches; ; Catching A Breath: Beach Spawning Fishes and Air-Breathing ; How Are Emergence and Air-Breathing Beneficial for Beach Spawning Fishes?; Intertidal Fishes Show Gradients of Amphibious Behavior and Air-Breathing; Respiratory Structures for Amphibious Fishes Are Similar for Water and Air; Respiratory Structures Undergo Modification as Conditions Change; Metabolic Rate in Air During Emergence Is Similar to Metabolic Rate in Water for Many Amphibious Fishes; Terrestrial Activity Increases the Rate of Aerial Gas Exchange for Amphibious Fishes; Many Amphibious Fishes Show Hypoxia Tolerance; Estuarine Fishes that Spawn on Beaches May Breathe Air Whether Or Not they Emerge; Fishes that Migrate into the Intertidal Zone and Emerge During Beach Spawning Do Not Breathe Air; The Gas Bladder Has Non-Respiratory Functions in Beach Spawning Fishes; Air Emergence Has Physiological Consequences for Fishes; Summary and Consequences: Adults Have Greater Physiological Tolerance to Hypoxia than Embryos; Embryos Are Better Suited for Air Exposure; ; Unsafe Sex: the Dangers of Novel Predators and Other Terrestrial influences for Beach-Spawning Fishes and their Embryos ; Marine and Avian Predators Attack Beach Spawning Fishes in the Ocean; Marine and Terrestrial Predators Attack During Beach Spawning Runs; Predation Occurs on Incubating Eggs and Embryos on Beaches; Egg Predation Occurs By Cannibalism During Spawning and Incubation on the Beach; Predation May Occur in the Nest on Guarding Parents and Embryos; Human Fisheries Target Some Beach Spawning Fishes; Parasites Attack Beach Spawning Fishes From Within; ; Beach Babes: Terrestrial Incubation and Beach-Spawning Fishes ; Demersal Eggs Are Well Suited for Beach Spawning; The Chorion Surrounds and Protects the Embryo; Oviposition Height Is Species-Specific and Mediates Between Opposing Risks of Aquatic Hypoxia and Aerial Desiccation; Embryos on Beaches May Incubate for Long Periods of Time; Some Beach-Spawning Fishes Have Environmental Sex Determination; Embryos Develop Terrestrially to Hatching Competence; Some Species Wait for An Environmental Cue to Hatch; ; Perilous Return to the Sea: Hatching After Beach Incubation ; Incubation on Beaches Exposes Fish Embryos to the Danger of Hatching on Land; Hatchlings Must Navigate the Perilous Return to the Sea; Hatching Competence Requires the Appropriate Stage of Development; Hatching Is a Two-Stage Process involving Chemical and Mechanical Steps; Hatching May Be Initiated Or Synchronized By Environmental Cues; The Mummichog Fundulus heteroclitus Hatches in Response to A Chemical Cue, Aquatic Hypoxia; The California Grunion Leuresthes tenuis Hatches in Response to A Mechanical Cue, Agitation in Seawater; The Mudskipper Periophthalmus modestus Hatches in Response to Parental Intervention and Aquatic Hypoxia; Extended Incubation May Arrest Development But Differs From Metabolic Arrest During Diapause; Summary of the Challenges and Mechanisms for Hatching on Beaches; ; Coastal Squeeze: New Threats to Beach Spawning Fishes and their Critical Habitats ; Coastal Construction and Shoreline Armoring Alter Beaches; Pollution of Water and Land Can Harm Fishes at All Life Stages; Some Beach Spawning Fishes Are Caught By Commercial or Recreational Fishing; Maintenance Activities and Management Actions Can Affect Spawning Sites on Recreational Beaches; Industrial Activities Near Beaches Can Impact Fishes; Climate Change and Sea Level Rise May Cause Loss of Beach Habitat; Summary of New Threats to Beach Spawning Fishes; ; Waves of Passion: Conservation Efforts for Beach Spawning Fishes ; California Greets the Grunion; Beach-Spawning Fishes Have Friends on the Shoreline in Washington State; Canadians Care About Capelin; Kusafugu Are Cultural Treasures in Japan; Celebrations of Beach Spawning Fishes in Sausalito, California; Whitebaiters in New Zealand Protect their Recreation; Forage Fish Initiatives Address Ecological Concerns; Summary: Local Ecological Knowledge Is Needed for Conservation;
