چکیده
Highlight Research The current condition coverage percentage of coral reefs in the waters Gosong Island was 55% Percentage dead with algae founded on is 28% On there are 11 families, namely Acroporidae, Agariciidae, Faviidae, Fungiidae, Merulinidae , Mussidae, Dendrophylliidae, Oculinidae, Pectiniidae, Pocilloporidae and Poritidae Abstract reef ecosystem an important ecosystem; its existence has a very close relationship surrounding fish community. direct indirect dependence become issue at national international levels. This study aimed to determine characteristics conditions, growth, identify types reefs, diversity species Island, Southwest Aceh. Coral biophysical were collected by measuring water quality, calculating using Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method, abundance Underwater Fish Visual Census (UFVC) method. average good category (55%), found as many 31 genera hard corals included line transect. base substrate that dominates other than live (DCA) 28%. 11,260 ind/ha biomass 2074,095 kg/yield. quality results show conditions for growth location.

Island biogeography of Caribbean coral reef fish
Aim The goal of our study was to test fundamental predictions of biogeographical theories in tropical reef fish assemblages, in particular relationships between fish species richness and island area, isolation and oceanographic variables (temperature and productivity) in the insular Caribbean. These analyses complement an analogous and more voluminous body of work from the tropical Indo-Pacific...
متن کاملQuaternary coral reef refugia preserved fish diversity.
The most prominent pattern in global marine biogeography is the biodiversity peak in the Indo-Australian Archipelago. Yet the processes that underpin this pattern are still actively debated. By reconstructing global marine paleoenvironments over the past 3 million years on the basis of sediment cores, we assessed the extent to which Quaternary climate fluctuations can explain global variation i...
متن کاملCurrent and Future Sustainability of Island Coral Reef Fisheries
Overexploitation is one of the principal threats to coral reef diversity, structure, function, and resilience [1, 2]. Although it is generally held that coral reef fisheries are unsustainable [3-5], little is known of the overall scale of exploitation or which reefs are overfished [6]. Here, on the basis of ecological footprints and a review of exploitation status [7, 8], we report widespread u...
متن کاملCoral reef fish smell leaves to find island homes.
Recent studies have shown that some coral reef fish larvae return to natal reefs, while others disperse to distant reefs. However, the sensory mechanisms used to find settlement sites are poorly understood. One hypothesis is that larvae use olfactory cues to navigate home or find other suitable reef habitats. Here we show a strong association between the clownfish Amphiprion percula and coral r...
متن کاملShort Term Growth Rate of Acropora downingi in the Coral Reef of Hengam Island, the Persian Gulf
In the Persian Gulf, Acropora- dominated coral reefs have been damaged by global and local disturbances. Inversion of coral colonies mostly occur due to anchoring and fishing in many coral reefs, particularly those established nearby human societies, like the coral reef of Hengam Island, in the Persian Gulf. The short term growth rates (weight increment) of inversely and normally transplanted c...
