Seasonal Variations of Trace Metal Accumulation on Coral Reef in Gulf of Mannar, India
Investication of trace metal occumulation on coral and reef environment (sediment and water) of the Gulf of Mannar biosphere reserve was studied during July 2007 to June 2008. The samples were collected for analyzing from Thoothukudi and Vembar group of Islands, Gulf of Mannar. The concentration of trace metal in the water are in the order of Fe > Pb > Zn > As > Mn > Cd > Cu and in sediment in ...
متن کاملDistribution of coral reef fishes along a coral reef–seagrass gradient: edge effects and habitat segregation
Coral reefs and seagrass beds are often located adjacent to one another, but little is known about the degree to which their fish communities are interlinked. To determine whether coral reef fishes on the coral reef are interlinked with or segregated from fishes on adjacent seagrass beds, a 60 m coral reef–seagrass gradient was studied on the island of Zanzibar in the western Indian Ocean. Usin...
متن کاملThe Ecology of Coral Reef Fishes
One of the first things that catches the attention of a diver entering the warm waters of the coral reef is the phenomenal diversity, abundance, and beauty of fishes swimming before them. While all organisms on the coral reef are integrated into its overall ecology, fishes are certainly among the more readily observable taxons, and are an extremely important component of overall reef function. ...
متن کاملNatural bounds on herbivorous coral reef fishes
Humans are an increasingly dominant driver of Earth's biological communities, but differentiating human impacts from natural drivers of ecosystem state is crucial. Herbivorous fish play a key role in maintaining coral dominance on coral reefs, and are widely affected by human activities, principally fishing. We assess the relative importance of human and biophysical (habitat and oceanographic) ...
متن کاملThe role of cryptobenthic reef fishes in coral reef trophodynamics
An examination of the trophic status of a cryptobenthic reef fish community from the central Great Barrier Reef was carried out to evaluate the potential role of cryptobenthic fishes in coral reef ecosystems. Using frequency of occurrence data, dietary analyses revealed a diverse range of trophic groups, although detritivory (in 10 out of 16 species and 39.3% of individuals) and carnivory (5 of...
