| Spanish abstract | Durante el 2017, observamos un evento de mortalidad masiva del pez de arrecife Canthigaster rostrata en el Caribe Sur costarricense. Los 86 individuos recolectados, posiblemente juveniles, presentaron tallas menores a los 49 mm y pesos debajo de 2.8 g. Eventos similares se han repor-tado en otras localidades del Caribe y podrían asociarse a cambios en la temperatura marina o al agotamiento de recursos durante su estrategia de reclutamiento |

The 86 subjects collected, possibly juveniles, were less than 49 mm and below 2.8 g. Similar events have been reported in other Caribbean locations and may be associated with changes in sea temperature or resource exhaustion during their recruitment period |
