Assessment of Carbon Storage of Reef Fish in Shique Beach Marine Ranching Based on Grey-Markov Model

Progress in Fishery Sciences
At present, the world is still experiencing a climate warming trend, which has severe implications for Earth's sustainable development. Increasing carbon sinks mitigates climate change and improves national and social development through carbon trade. As

Regional Reef Fish Survey Design and Scaling Using High-Resolution Mapping and Analysis

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs are undergoing changes caused by coastal development, resource use, and climate change. The extent and rate of reef change demand robust and spatially explicit monitoring to support management and conservation decision-making.

Status of Florida’s pillar coral population: in situ declines and ex situ successes

Frontiers in Marine Science
The population of pillar coral, Dendrogyra cylindrus, in Florida was decimated from 2013 to 2020, primarily by the emergence of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD).

Habitat specialization in tropical continental shelf demersal fish assemblages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The implications of shallow water impacts such as fishing and climate change on fish assemblages are generally considered in isolation from the distribution and abundance of these fish assemblages in adjacent deeper waters.

Taxonomic Diversity and Interannual Variation of Fish in the Lagoon of Meiji Reef (Mischief Reef), South China Sea

Biology
Coral reef fish are important groups of coral reefs, which have great economic and ecological value. Meiji Reef is a representative tropical semi-enclosed atoll in the South China Sea, with rich fish resources.

A Global Analysis of the Relationship between Farmed Seaweed Production and Herbivorous Fish Catch. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Globally, farmed seaweed production is expanding rapidly in shallow marine habitats. While seaweed farming provides vital income to millions of artisanal farmers, it can negatively impact shallow coral reef and seagrass habitats. However, seaweed farming

Octocoral dynamics over a decade on Florida’s coral reef

Scientific Reports
In recent decades, studies have documented increased octocoral cover and density on western Atlantic reefs, suggesting their potential to thrive in areas once dominated by scleractinians.

Analysis of coral reef health based on the abundance of herbivorous reef fish in the waters of Krueng Raya, Aceh Besar [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
The health and sustainability of coral reefs are influenced by the complex interactions of various organisms, and one indicator of their health is the presence of herbivorous reef fish.

Biophysical and anthropogenic influences on the status of Tonga's coral reefs and reef fish fishery.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Despite increasing threats to Tonga's coral reefs from stressors that are both local (e.g. overfishing and pollution) and global (e.g. climate change), there is yet to be a systematic assessment of the status of the country's coral reef ecosystem and ...

Changes in population biology of three coral reef fishes in the South China Sea between 1998–1999 and 2016–2019

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2023
The decline of coral reefs and their fish has attracted worldwide attention. The South China Sea is the important center of coral reefs. Reef-fish is a crucial component in coral reef ecosystem. However, studies on the long-term variation in the biololgy
