Resilience of coral-associated bacterial communities exposed to fish farm effluent. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
The coral holobiont includes the coral animal, algal symbionts, and associated microbial community. These microbes help maintain the holobiont homeostasis; thus, sustaining robust mutualistic microbial communities is a fundamental part of long-term coral

Culturing for conservation: the need for timely investments in reef aquaculture

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Temperate oyster and tropical coral reefs are analogous systems that create habitat for economically, ecologically, and culturally important species, and they provide countless ecosystem services to human coastal communities.

Analysis of the differentially expressed genes and characterization of PIMITF genes of the leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus)

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
Leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) is an indispensable kind of fish in the coral reef ecosystems and marine aquaculture, and the body color of leopard coral grouper is exhibited in black, brown or red.

Extended exposure to elevated temperature affects escape response behaviour in coral reef fishes [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
The threat of predation, and the prey’s response, are important drivers of community dynamics. Yet environmental temperature can have a significant effect on predation avoidance techniques such as fast-start performance observed in marine fishes.

Environmental Drivers of Variation in Bleaching Severity of Acropora Species during an Extreme Thermal Anomaly

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
High sea surface temperatures caused global coral bleaching during 2015–2016. During this thermal stress event, we quantified within- and among-species variability in bleaching severity for critical habitat-forming Acropora corals.

Algae associated with coral degradation affects risk assessment in coral reef fishes

Scientific Reports, 2017
Habitat degradation alters the chemical landscape through which information about community dynamics is transmitted. Olfactory information is crucial for risk assessment in aquatic organisms as predators release odours when they capture prey that lead to

Differential Occupation of Available Coral Hosts by Coral-Dwelling Damselfish (Pomacentridae) on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef

Diversity, 2019
Associations between habitat-forming, branching scleractinian corals and damselfish have critical implications for the function and trophic dynamics of coral reef ecosystems.

Interspecific differences in how habitat degradation affects escape response

Scientific Reports, 2017
Degradation of habitats is widespread and a leading cause of extinctions. Our study determined whether the change in the chemical landscape associated with coral degradation affected the way three fish species use olfactory information to optimize their ...

Testing Industrial-Scale Coral Restoration Techniques: Harvesting and Culturing Wild Coral-Spawn Slicks

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Accelerating the recovery of marine coastal ecosystems is a global challenge that has been attempted on many systems around the world. Restoration efforts have shown varying levels of success at localized-scales, but developing techniques for large-scale

Feeding of a Scleractinian Coral, Goniopora columna, on Microalgae, Yeast, and Artificial Feed in Captivity

Animals, 2021
Nutritional requirements are critical in the process of coral aquaculture. In addition to energy from symbiotic algae, corals obtain sufficient nutrition through heterotrophic feeding. Microalgae and yeast are commonly used as nutritional supplements for
