Cnidarians are the life forms that secrete protective substances that make up the solid base of the coral reef They are polyps, so they are stationary They like between 23 and 29 degrees celcius, 32 to 42 parts salinity, and clear water so that sunliight can penetrate at least 70 meters ...

The average salinity is 40 parts per thousand (ppt), as compared to about 35-36 (ppt) in the tropical Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans. Recent measurements found surface water temperatures to be 28 degrees C. (82 degrees F.) in winter and up to 34 degrees C. (93 degrees F.) in...
discrete sumps (containing a protein skimmer and canister filter to maintain water quality), at the ambient collection temperature of 27.0, 31.5, or 35.5 °C (mean ± 0.1 °C) and 40ppt salinity, equivalent to the mean ppt in Persian/Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman sites79,141...
What is the smallest coral reef in the world? What countries are coral reefs found in? What is the PPT of salinity in benthic zones? What is the history of coral reefs? What is dredging in the Great Barrier Reef? Which ocean has the bathypelagic zone?
we aim to elucidate 1) whether reef fishes in the Persian/Arabian Gulf have managed to improve metabolic and swimming performance metrics to support survival at elevated temperatures; and 2) whether theoretical GOL and MASROS explanations for size reductions match observed patterns in the field. Bas...
