Screening by coral green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromoproteins supports a role in photoprotection of zooxanthellae

, 2013
Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants.

Diverse and ecologically unique mesophotic coral ecosystems in the central Indian Ocean

Coral Reefs
AbstractResearch on Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCEs; 30–150 m) has grown exponentially in the last few decades, highlighting their rich diversity and extensive distribution. However, they are still largely underexplored compared to shallow-water coral reefs and frequently remain under-protected and under-represented in marine spatial planning.

Depth partitioning of mesophotic reef fish communities on Pickle Bank seamount

Frontiers in Marine Science
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs)—reefs below 30m depth—represent distinct ecological communities that are under threat from local (e.g., fishing) and global (e.g., climate change) disturbances. However, most MCEs remain unexplored, and their ecological

Benthic Community Distribution Pattern in Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in Bali and Lombok

International Journal of Conservation Science
The biological communities in the shallow waters of the Lombok Strait have been reported. However, studies on the mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (MCEs) in this area remain scarce. In this study, we investigated the distribution patterns of benthic communities at two observation points, Bali and Lombok in this area taking into account depth gradients.
