The underwater foundations of those wind turbines provide a complex structure that creates new habitats and attracts fishes. However, whether OWFs had the same ecological function as purpose-built artificial reef (AR) and how they alter the original fish community remain unclear.Methods To evaluate the spatial and temporal variations in fish assemblages, we conducted a multi-part investigation at the Formosa Wind Farm, located off the coast of Miaoli County, Taiwan. Temporal changes were assessed through SCUBA surveys at turbine foundations in 2017, 2018, and 2025, with the 2025 data allowing for a direct comparison with the nearby existing artificial reefs. To assess spatial effects, pole-and-line surveys were conducted from Apr to Oct in 2024 and 2025 at varying distances from the turbines.Results Our investigation documented 86 species of reef-associated fishes exclusively within 50 m of turbine foundations; none were caught in the surrounding sandy areas or documented in pervious fishery records. The results demonstrated that fish assemblages around the turbine piles changed successively over the years. Although the species composition in 2025 differed between the OWF and the established AR sites, key ecological metrics such as species richness, diversity, and trophic structures showed no significant differences.Discussion These findings demonstrated that the underwater structure of offshore wind turbines can function as AR, creating novel reef habitats and supporting reef-associated fish community within a finite spatial extent. Overall, OWFs may provide ecological benefits in addition to renewable energy, highlighting their potential role in balancing energy development with marine conservation.

We aimed to establish a comprehensive staging system for ovarian maturation in I. novemdentatus based on both external and histological characteristics. Nine distinct stages were defined, ranging from immature to complete post-spawning recovery. Physiological indicators such as gonadosomatic index, hepatopancreatic index, and hemolymph composition were analyzed to improve our understanding of the reproductive status of the species. Hemolymph parameters, including Brix values, an indirect indicator of nutritional and physiological status, and absorbance at 334 nm and 480 nm, which are associated with carotenoid pigments involved in reproductive development, showed changes associated with ovarian development, providing a potential non-destructive indicator of maturity. Two patterns of ovarian resorption were identified: partial post-spawning resorption and complete resorption without spawning, highlighting the need for ecological assessments beyond visible egg-carrying and offering improved insights for broodstock management in aquaculture.

Milne-Edwards, 1881 is often challenging due to intraspecific variations influenced by sex and ontogeny. Molecular analysis of the mitochondrial COI barcode gene of three closely related but geographically separated taxa, Glyphocrangon smithii Wood-Mason in Wood-Mason & Alcock, 1891 from the eastern Indian Ocean, G. amblytes Komai, 2004 from the western Indian Ocean, and G. juxtaculeata Chace, 1984 from Banda Sea, Indonesia, revealed that they have nearly identical sequences and should be considered as belonging to a single species. Glyphocrangon amblytes and G. juxtaculeata are therefore synonymized with G. smithii. A redescription is provided for G. smithii to reflect the variations observed in this now rather widely distributed species in the Indo-West Pacific.
