Coral Degradation and the Flow on Effects to Reef Fishes: OAJBS Publishers
Coral Degradation and
the Flow on Effects to Reef Fishes by Mark I McCormick* in Open
Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)
The coral reefs of the world are under threat from
over-harvest, pollution and climate change, which has lead 75% of the world’s
reefs to be classed as threatened in 2011. For many reefs these threats have
led to a mark reduction in hard corals, particularly as a result of coral
bleaching through thermal stress. As corals bleach and die, the fish community
changes – there are still fishes present, but there just aren’t as many
different varieties. While researchers have documented the changes in fish
community that occur as habitats degraded and change, the mechanisms that lead
to that change are poorly understood.
