In combination, these results indicate that daily changes in moonlight that occur over the lunar cycle are essential for maintaining normal
lunar periodicity of clock gene transcription, and this may play a role in regulating spawn timing.
During fall and winter moon cycles, no consistent effect of
lunar periodicity was noted for activity and depth use, suggesting other factors besides moon phase affect activity and depth use.

The main goal of the current study was to investigate the performance of the domestic longline fishery at Reunion Island with regard to several variables to determine whether
