When sea temperatures rise above that range, it causes the algae(海藻)that live within its tissues to break away, which leads to a process called coral bleaching(白化现象). Coral bleaching is so disastrous to the life of the reef because the coral has a symbiotic relationship with the algae...
Found swimming in the coral reefs in the northern part of the Red Sea, the scientists who discovered it originally thought they were seeing a Fiery dwarfgoby (Sueviota pyrios), already known to science. However, they began to notice a few distinct differences: shorter pelvic fins, a protrudi...

Both chemicals are known to affect the early development of corals including; damaging DNA, abnormal skeletal growth, deformities and the big one – increase the susceptibility to bleaching by killing the symbiotic algae that coral needs to survive. Just one part in a billion of octinoxate can ...
What do we need from it and what do we owe it? I’m inclined to think that human societies will survive a world with three or four degrees of warming and without coral reefs or pupfish. Perhaps they will even thrive. But I also think the future is likely to be a better place if ...

Seahorses, frogfish, and others live the life aquatic with little swimming. Not everyone can swim like a fish—even among fish.
Marine ecosystems continue to be transformed by human activities. Among them, benthic ecosystems are perhaps one of the most affected, because of bottom trawling, urban or agricultural development, climate change, and other stressors. Benthic communities
