The World’s largest known Gorgonian
Zootaxa, 2013Gorgonians in the deep sea can be much larger than their shallow water counterparts, but there are only a few scattered measurements. We have estimated the size of a chrysogorgiid gorgonian, Iridogorgia magnispiralis Watling 2007, observed from a submersible on Twin Banks in theNorthwest Hawaiian Islands, as being 5.7 m tall.

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2014
Gorgonian corals are the dominant benthic fauna on many Caribbean reefs, and yet studies on the makeup of the host, or their dinoflagellate symbionts, Symbiodinium spp., are scarce. We investigated the biochemical composition and symbiont parameters in eight gorgonian coral species. Skeletal material, comprised of sclerites and refractory material, was

In the 1980s, certain areas in the Caribbean experienced mass mortalities of sea fans (Gorgonia flabellum). These areas included the coasts of Costa Rica (Guzman and Cortez 1984), Panama (Garzon-Ferreira and Zea 1992; Diaz et al. 1995), and Trinidad (Laydoo 1983).

Mucilage impact on gorgonians in the Tyrrhenian sea
Science of The Total Environment, 2005The mucilage phenomenon has affected the Tuscan Archipelago since its first appearance (1991) in the Tyrrhenian Sea (Mediterranean Sea) [Innamorati M, Raddi E, Buzzichelli A, Melley S, Demoulin M. Le mucillaggini nel Mar Tirreno. Biol Mar Suppl Notiz 1992;1:23-26; Sartoni G, Sonni C. Tribonema marinum J.

Steroids from the Gorgonian Isis hippuris [PDF]
Journal of Natural Products, 2005 Six new polyoxygenated steroids, hippuristerones J-L (1-3), hippuristerols E-F (4, 5), and a novel gorgosteroid, 1alpha,3beta,5beta,11alpha-tetrahydroxygorgostan-6-one (6), were isolated from the gorgonian Isis hippuris. The structures of these metabolites were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison of the NMR data with those of ...

Mechanical properties of the axial skeleton in gorgonians [PDF]
Coral Reefs, 1987 Axial skeletons of thirteen species representing a wide range of genera of Gorgonians were investigated using Young's modulus as a measure of stiffness and Torsion modulus as a measure of resistance to shear or twist. Atomic absorption spectroscopic determination of magnesium and calcium content as measures of mineralization were done.

Sesquiterpene variability in the gorgonian genus Plexaurella
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2009Gorgonian corals have proven to be a prolific source of a variety of biologically active terpenes. Corals of the genus Plexaurella are known to be the source of a diverse array of sesquiterpenes, and past reports have indicated variability in terpene content.
