Marine Pollution as a Trigger of Discoloration Phenomenon in The Hard Coral, Pocillopora Species at The Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, Egypt: Pathological and Molecular Evidences [PDF]

Journal of Applied Veterinary Sciences
Hard corals are precious marine creatures that comprise a complex form of symbiosis between symbiont algae and coral holobiont. For decades, corals have been challenged by disastrous events of climatic and anthropogenic etiologies.

Diseases of scleractinian corals

, 2022
Coral reefs are critical habitats that support an abundance of marine life while also being economically important to millions of people that rely on reef-based industries such as tourism and fishing to sustain local communities. However, reef ecosystems globally are degrading at alarming rates due to anthropogenic impacts including ocean warming, poor

Characterization of the Microbiome of Corals with Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease along Florida’s Coral Reef [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is an emergent and often lethal coral disease that was first reported near Miami, FL (USA) in 2014. Our objective was to determine if coral colonies showing signs of SCTLD possess a specific microbial signature across five susceptible species sampled in Florida’s Coral Reef.
