The impact of stony coral tissue loss disease and amoxicillin treatments on coral gametogenesis
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe unprecedented mortality of stony corals on Florida’s Coral Reef from stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was mitigated on some priority sites and corals through the use of a topical amoxicillin paste to halt disease lesion progression.
