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).

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

Shape learning and discrimination in reef fish [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009
SUMMARY Coral reef fish live in a complex world of colour and patterns. If they are to survive they need to be able to correctly identify the things they see(e.g. predators, prey) and act accordingly (e.g. flee, feed). This paper investigates whether discrimination is limited to ecologically relevant stimuli or is in fact more adaptable.

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.

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

Non‐reef habitats in a tropical seascape affect density and biomass of fishes on coral reefs

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Nonreef habitats such as mangroves, seagrass, and macroalgal beds are important for foraging, spawning, and as nursery habitat for some coral reef fishes.
