Coral reefs are diverse and productive but sensitive ecosystems. Due to the impact of climate change, these organisms are in danger of dying out, mainly through the process of coral bleaching, which is the process by which zooxanthellae (algal ...

Wild or Reared? Cassiopea andromeda Jellyfish as a Potential Biofactory [PDF]
The zooxanthellate jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda (Forsskål, 1775), a Lessepsian species increasingly common in the western and central Mediterranean Sea, was investigated here to assess its potential as a source of bioactive compounds from medusa ...

Early Development of Zooxanthella-containing Eggs of the Corals Porites cylindrica and Montipora digitata: The Endodermal Localization of Zooxanthellae [PDF]
We studied the early development of zooxanthellae-containing eggs of the scleractinian corals Porites cylindrica and Montipora digitata to elucidate how zooxanthellae become localized to the endoderm of planulae during the course of development. In both species, zooxanthellae were distributed evenly in the oocytes and delivered almost equally to the ...

ZOOXANTHELLAE DENSITY IN DIFFERENT ZONE AND LIFE FORM IN INNER AND OUTER ZONE OF SPERMONDE ISLANDS
The Spermonde Islands are part of the mega diversity area in the world's coral triangle area, crossed by the Wallace line. The Spermonde Archipelago consists of 120 islands spread over four zones: the inner zone, middle inner zone, middle outer zone, and

Since the last century, episodes of coral reef bleaching and mortality have occurred almost annually in tropical or subtropical seas. When the temperature exceeds the tolerant limit of a coral–zooxanthellae holobiont, it induces physiological stress and ...

Responses to high seawater temperatures in zooxanthellate octocorals. [PDF]
Increases in Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) as a result of global warming have caused reef-building scleractinian corals to bleach worldwide, a result of the loss of obligate endosymbiotic zooxanthellae.
