Carbohydrate composition of mucus released by scleractinian warm- and cold-water reef corals
Mucus, a complex composed primarily of carbohydrates, is released in similar quantities by scleractinian warmand cold-water reef corals, and can function as an important carrier of organic material from corals to a range of consumers, microbes in particular. However, information about mucus chemical composition is rare for warm-water corals and non-existent for cold-water corals. This study the...
متن کاملScleractinian Corals of Kuwait
A survey was made of the coral reefs of Kuwait to compile a species list of scleractinian corals. Twenty-eight hermatypic and six ahermatypic coral species are listed in systematic order, and a brief description is provided for each. A new species of Acropora is described. The Kuwait fauna is a small subset of the over 500 Indo-Pacific species. Several species show a higher degree of intraspeci...

the concentration contents of ca, mg, sr and zn in porites corals from pulau langkawi, pulau redang and pulau tioman were presented. the corals were cleaned and the growth rate examined visually. the growth rate of porites in malaysia waters was between 5 to 25 mm yr-1 and each band was selected for determining the metal contents using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (aas). the mean val...
متن کاملMicroplastic ingestion by scleractinian corals
Microplastics (i.e. plastic fragments <5 mm in diameter) are a widespread form of contamination in marine ecosystems around the globe (Moore 2008). Coastal ecosystems, such as inshore coral reefs, are likely to be particularly heavily impacted by microplastics because these contaminants often enter the marine environment through fragmentation of larger plastic items from terrestrial sources (Th...
