They provide a home for 25% of all marine species, including fish, mollusks (软体动物), worms, crustaceans(甲壳类动物), echinoderms(棘皮动物),sponges, tunicates and other cnidarians. Paradoxically, coral reefs flourish even though they are surrounded by ocean waters that provide few nutrients. ...

The reef is home to over 1500 fish species, 6 turtle species, 15 types of seagrass, 5000 species of mollusc, 9 species of seahorse, and the list goes on. About 250 types of seabirds visit the reefs or live around their coastlines. The diverse underwater life the great barrier reef suppo...
At a time when conservation funding and energy is limited,uglier fish are likely being overshadowed by more beautiful fish,which could have serious consequences for coral reef ecosystems. "The less attractive species have the highest ecological distinctiveness,and thus provide the highes...
Coral Reef Info was made to provide a concise, science-based overview of the structure, ecology, and marine life of coral reefs.
The patterns of movement of three species of coral reef fish were investigated in two tagging studies on the Great Barrier Reef. In the first study, done within the lagoon at Lizard Island on the northern GBR, the frequency of movement o... CR Davies - 《(1995) phd thesis, james cook ...
Most species were generally rare in the US Pacific with the exception of a few species, principally small groupers and reef sharks. The greatest diversity and densities of IUCN-listed fishes were recorded at remote and uninhabited islands of the Pacific Remote Island Areas; in general, lower ...
The fossils, of more than 10 coral species during the Devonian period, which was 419 million to 359 million years ago, covered an area of over 300-square-kilometer in the northwestern part of the county. "All the findings suggest that the northwestern mountainous area of Yunxi was a marine...
SYDNEY, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Reef-building algae species have a unique molecular makeup that could help future coral reefs withstand climate change, pointing to better understanding of environmental impacts on the major marine ecosystems, according to the latest Australian research. ...
