Ecology of mesophotic coral reefs
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2009Mesophotic coral reefs, reefs at depths of 30 m to 150 m, are receiving renewed interest from coral reef scientists and managers because they are linked physically and biologically to their shallow water counterparts, have the potential to be refugia for shallow coral reef taxa such as coral and sponges, and can be a source of larvae that could ...

Acclimation potential of Acropora to mesophotic environment
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023Mesophotic coral ecosystems may serve as a refuge for reef-building corals to survive the ongoing climate change. Distribution of coral species changes during larval dispersal. However, the acclimation potential in the early life stages of corals at different depths is unknown.

Connectivity and stability of mesophotic coral reefs
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2011Abstract Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), occurring at depths of 30 to over 150 m, represents the deep continuum of adjacent shallow coral reefs about which little is known. These reefs are most developed, and most frequently studied, in areas where light penetration is high and photosymbiotic reef-builders (corals) can persist as common members ...

Mesophotic coral ecosystems have been studied for almost as long as researchers have studied shallow coral reefs. This may be surprising, given that the term mesophotic was coined as recently as 2008. At their shallowest, most agree, mesophotic reefs are found between depths of 30 and 40 m.

Function and stability of mesophotic coral reefs
Trends in Ecology and EvolutionThe function and stability of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have been extensively studied in recent years. These deep reefs are characterized by local physical processes, particularly the steep gradient in irradiance with increasing depth, and their impact on trophic resources.

Biodiversity and Functional Ecology of Mesophotic Coral Reefs
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2018Mesophotic coral reefs, currently defined as deep reefs between 30 and 150 m, are linked physically and biologically to their shallow water counterparts, have the potential to be refuges for shallow coral reef taxa such as coral and sponges, and might be a source of larvae that could contribute to the resiliency of shallow water reefs.

[Extract] Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are unique tropical and subtropical ecosystems characterized as light-dependent reef communities typically found at depths ranging from 30 to 40 m and extending to over 150 m in clear waters. The dominant habitat-forming communities can be hard and soft corals, algae, and/or sponges.
