\nExpert opinion was canvassed to identify crucial knowledge gaps in current understanding of climate change impacts on coral\u00a0
\nreef fishes. Scientists that had published three or more papers on the effects of climate and environmental factors on reef fishes\u00a0
\nwere invited to submit five questions that, if addressed, would improve our understanding of climate change effects on coral reef\u00a0
\nfishes. Thirty-three scientists provided 155 questions, and 32 scientists scored these questions in terms of: (i) identifying a\u00a0
\nknowledge gap, (ii) achievability, (iii) applicability to a broad spectrum of species and reef habitats, and (iv) priority. Forty-two per\u00a0
\ncent of the questions related to habitat associations and community dynamics of fish, reflecting the established effects and\u00a0
\nimmediate concern relating to climate-induced coral loss and habitat degradation. However, there were also questions on fish\u00a0
\ndemographics, physiology, behaviour and management, all of which could be potentially affected by climate change. Irrespective\u00a0
\nof their individual expertise and background, scientists scored questions from different topics similarly, suggesting limited bias\u00a0
\nand recognition of a need for greater interdisciplinary and collaborative research. Presented here are the 53 highest-scoring\u00a0
\nunique questions. These questions should act as a guide for future research, providing a basis for better assessment and\u00a0
\nmanagement of climate change impacts on coral reefs and associated fish communities.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
