Abstract
|
Reproductive ecology and mating system of the gobiid fish, Amblygobius phalaena, were studied on the coral reef at Sesoko Island, Okinawa, Japan. This goby usually lives in pairs, and maintains territories with several burrows for shelter and spawning. Although a few paired individuals changed partners, most pairs remained together over successive rounds of reproduction. Mate guarding by females appeared to prevent males from mating with other females. Spawnings were synchronous with semilunar periods. Several expected spawnings failed to occur (12%). These may have been caused by the delays in spawning preparation of the paired females or by the disturbance caused by a typhoon. A pair spawned in one of the several burrows within their home ranges. Eggs were deposited on the ceiling of the burrow, and were tended by the paired male for 3–4 days until embryos hatched. The males tended eggs at the expense of their feeding. Aggression toward fishes approaching their burrows were exhibited by the males as well as the females. Because of its low frequency in females, this behavior did not limit their ability to feed.

Abstract
|
· The coastal and marine resources of the Municipalities of Mabini and Tingloy
(Southern Luzon, Philippines) are considerably diverse and provide
livelihoods for multiple stakeholders including oil refineries, fishers,
recreational divers, hoteliers, ferry operators, etc.
· Various significant anthropogenic impacts threaten the intricate diversity of
the coral reefs of this area including overfishing, blast fishing, aquaculture,
ship groundings, oil-spills, nutrification, sedimentation and others.
· Between January and March 2002, teams of international CCC volunteers
carried out 137 survey dives from a total of 37 transects to gather the
information presented in this report, which includes analyses of data from over
13000 species records.
· Survey work carried out thus far by the CCC dive teams in the pilot phase of
the Mabini-Tingloy Marine Biodiversity Conservation Project (MTMBCP) has
revealed a considerable degree of both benthic habitat and coral diversity,
although overall, the area appears to be heavily over-fished.
· Currents and the unique lie of the Sepoc headland, and considerable variation
in the coastline at this area, facilitates a variety of depositional and accretive
marine habitats (from exposed spur-and-groove to sheltered large Porites
mounds). This has, in turn, developed a considerably varied number of marine
habitats along the 1km of coastline surrounding the area of Sepoc Point.
· Sepoc Point (north and south) revealed eight different benthic habitats. This
lowered to three habitats on the adjacent Caban Island. Sombrero Island
appears to have medium density of coral cover on the easterly side, however,
the west and north-west coast appears to be rubble dominated, suggesting
previous storm or blast fishing damage to this part of the island.
· The south-west Calumpan peninsula (within the 1991 designated reserve area)
has a varied number of habitats, with patchy distribution and pockets of
extremely high coral cover; for example, to the north of Eagle Point Resort,
and in the region shoreward of Cathedral Rock (a fish sanctuary).
· Fish populations within the Calumpan reserve area, and especially within the
sanctuary of Cathedral Rock, appear to be considerably healthier in terms of
biomass and diversity compared to adjacent areas. Deeper waters in this
survey sector appear to be dominated by Fusiliers, damselfish and Naso
species.
· Given the high biodiverisity of coral populations of the Mabini-Tingloy area,
serious consideration should be made to increasing the number and range of
marine protected areas within the Mabini-Tingloy area. Recommendations for
such areas will form part of subsequent MTMBCP reports.

Abstract
|
The current state of health of the  coral reefs in the northern Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea), notably the Eilat reefs, is under debate regarding both their exact condition and the causes of degradation. A dearth of earlier data and unequivocal reliable indices are the major problems hinder a clear understanding of the reef state. Our research objective was to examine coral–algal dynamics as a potential cause and an indication of reef degradation. The community structure of stony corals and algae along the northern Gulf of Aqaba reveal non-seasonal turf algae dominancy in the shallow Eilat reefs (up to 72%), while the proximate Aqaba reefs present negligible turf cover (<6%). We believe that turf dominancy can indicate degradation in these reefs, based on the reduction in essential reef components followed by proliferation of perennial turf algae. Our findings provide further evidence for the severe state of the Eilat coral reefs.

Abstract
|
On the Great Barrier Reef, abundant macroalgae on inshore
reefs may indicate (or model) reef degradation, since
these reefs receive high input of terrestrial nutrients
and sediments. Surveys of macroalgal composition of 77
reefs suggest that small and large (continental shelf)
scale distribution patterns correlate with herbivory,
disturbance history and algal dispersal, as well as water
quality. These surveys suggest that that the floras of
both inshore and offshore reefs normally include some
fleshy macroalgae. The surveys also suggest a suite of
inshore algal species which may serve as indicators of
degradation on offshore reefs. Experimental transplants,
caging studies and sediment manipulations suggest that
the abundance of Sargassum on inshore reef flats is not
due to direct enhancement by nutrients or sediments, but
to isolation from herbivorous fish and to availability of
substrate. On the central Great Barrier Reef,
displacement of corals by macroalgae seems unlikely to
result directly from nutrient enhancement of algal
growth. However, water quality probably does have
important indirect effects, through interactions with
other biota. Macroalgae appear to often be consequences,
rather than direct causes, of coral mortality.

Abstract
|
Invasive blooms of the siphonaceous green algae Codium spp. have been considered a symptom of coastal eutrophication but, to date, only limited biochemical evidence supports a linkage to land-based nutrient pollution. Beginning in the summer of 1990, spectacular blooms of unattached Codium isthmocladum developed on deep coral reef habitats in southern Palm Beach County and northern Broward County, and in subsequent years, attached populations formed on reefs in northern Palm Beach County. To better understand the nutrition of these HABs, we collected C. isthmocladum and other reef macroalgae from various locations in southeast Florida as well as the wider Caribbean region for tissue C:N:P analysis in order to gauge variability in the type and degree of N- and/or P-limited growth. Widespread nutrient enrichment in floridian C. isthmocladum populations was evidenced by significantly higher tissue P (0.06% versus 0.04% of dry weight) and lower C:N (12 versus 19), C:P (425 versus 980), and N:P (35 versus 50) ratios compared to more nutrient-depleted Caribbean populations. To determine nutrient availability on southeast Florida's reefs, we sampled near-bottom waters at a variety of locations for DIN (=NH4+ + NO3- + NO2-) and SRP analysis. In general, concentrations of NH4+, NO3- and SRP were all high on southeast Florida's reefs compared to values reported for Caribbean coral reefs. Although summertime upwelling provides episodic NO3 and SRP enrichment to reefs in southeast Florida, these transient nutrient pulses have not historically supported C. isthmocladum blooms. We suggest that the widespread P enrichment of C. isthmocladum tissue and water column DIN:SRP ratios <16:1 in southeast Florida drive this system toward N limitation where low level NH4+ enrichment becomes of paramount importance. Hence, the recent C. isthmocladum blooms appear to be supported by increasing land-based nutrient pollution, particularly, sewage that is enriched in NH4+ and SRP at a low N:P ratio (<10:1) critical to sustaining balanced growth during bloom formation.

Abstract
|
Macroalgae are important components of coral reef and seagrass ecosystems; however, the habitat structure macroalgae provide to the system has been little explored. We use architectural and morphological traits of macroalgae to describe and compare the reef and lagoon habitat complexity at Puerto Morelos reef in the Mexican Caribbean. Using a random-stratified method, macroalgae were sampled, then each organism was identified and morphometric features were recorded. A total of 101 species were found. The ordination analysis showed differences in species composition between the reef and lagoon. Small size, erect highly branched and dense clonal growth were more frequent in the reef compared to the lagoon where larger, erect, less branched and less dense algae with CaCO3 were found. Higher species richness and diversity of forms in the reef suggest a higher habitat complexity provided by macroalgae in the reef compared with the seagrass beds. The increase of fleshy macroalgae has been shown to decrease the habitat complexity provided by coral structure, we highlight that the increase of only some macroalgae species will result in a loss of complexity provided by other macroalgae species.

Abstract
|
Soft bottom communities were sampled quantitatively in Tahiti lagoon (French Polynesia) at 18 stations in five zones around the island over 1 year. In addition, various environmental parameters (silt/clay fractions, organic content, chlorophyll and phaeopigment content) were sampled at the same stations over 2 years. The temporal and spatial variabilities of the macrobenthic communities are described and related to these environmental parameters. Each zone ran from the fringing reef to the inner flat of the barrier reef. The macrofauna exhibited a high richness (392 taxa) with an average mean biomass of 1.8 g AFDW m-2 (grams ash-free dry weight per square metre). These communities exhibited temporal but not seasonal fluctuations. The biomass of the macrofauna increased from the fringing to the barrier reefs, and the density of individuals was significantly higher on the fringing reefs. Ordination techniques highlighted four groups of stations characterised by distinctive species composition, density and biomass. The first group included stations located on the inner flat of the barrier reef and in the shallow lagoon area and was characterised by highly diverse communities dominated by polychaetes. The second group primarily included stations from the industrial and hotel zones. This group had the lowest diversity and was also dominated by polychaetes, especially the capitellid Dasybranchus sp. 1. The third group was dominated by gastropods and bivalves. The final group of stations was represented only by station 51, in zone 5, which was characterised by mobile soft sediments and wave action and was dominated by the decapod Hippa cf. pacifica. Presumably, these mobile sediments facilitate the development of this benthic community, which does not occur elsewhere in the lagoon. The diversity and biomass of these benthic communities are low compared with most other areas in the South Pacific.

Abstract
|
Brazilian coral reefs have many endemic species. In the state of Alagoas, coral reefs are
abundant, but different human impacts occur when the reefs are located in urban settings. This study compared the diversity of macrobenthic organisms on five coral reefs on the urban coast of the city of Maceió, which are subject to different human impacts. Semi-quantitative estimates of the abundance of live specimens at each station on these reefs consisted of visual records obtained during five full low-tide periods from 2005 to 2007. Fifty taxa of macrobenthic organisms were analyzed, using cluster analysis (UPGMA, Bray-Curtis). The Jatiúca (50 species) and Ponta Verde (50 species) coral reefs were similar, with 0.2 for cluster analysis; both sites are impacted only by harvesters of seafood. The Pajuçara (48 species) and Amores (47 species) coral reefs were similar, with 0.4 and 0.5, respectively; human impacts at these sites also include boat anchoring. Piscina Natural coral reef had the fewest macrobenthic species (13), with 0.7 for cluster analysis; human impacts on this reef include tourist activities and boat anchoring. These results call for stricter control of human impacts on coral reefs situated on the urban coast, and demonstrate that macrobenthic organisms can be useful indicators for monitoring coral reefs.

Abstract
|
A biological expedition jointly organized by the National University of Singapore-Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences collected marine algae and seagrasses in the Anambas and Natuna Islands (Kepulauan Anambas and Kepulauan Natuna), Indonesia. A total of 23 taxa of red algae, 22 taxa of brown algae and 29 taxa of green algae are listed. All except Hormophysa cuneiformis are new records for the area. Two families, two genera and three species of seagrasses are also reported.

Abstract
|
The macro-infaunal boring communities of ' i n s i t u
Porites from Tulear, Madagascar, Lizard Island,
GBR and Moorea, French Polynesia a r e compared.
~ u l 6 a r and Lizard have the richest communities and
Moorea the l e a s t . Some species of macro-infaunal
borers occur a t a l l 3 l o c a l i t i e s but some species
occur a t only 1 l o c a l i t y suggesting t h a t there a r
marked regional variations i n the composition of
infaunal boring communities.
Densities of ' i n s i t u ' infaunal boring communities
a t Lizard and Moorea a r e compared and discussed
and a l l exhibit marked variations within s i t e s ,
probably i n p a r t due t o sampling boring
communities of Porites of d i f f e r e n t unknown ages.
Moorea exhibits considerable v a r i a t i o n between
s i t e s and the possible causes f o r t h i s a r e
discussed.
These r e s u l t s a r e compared with those obtained
experimentally by Hutchings and i t i s concluded
t h a t experimental methods of studying infaunal
boring communities and measuring r a t e s of
bioerosion due t o these organisms i s the only
f e a s i b l e approach.

Abstract
|
Recent development on Pulau Tioman has raised much serious discussion on the biodiversity of the area
affected. A survey was conducted to evaluate the macro-invertebrates of the reefs adjacent to Kg Tekek.
Sampling was conducted by using six 100 meter transect lines with a side range of 2.5 meter on each side. The
survey has recorded 53 species of macro-invertebrates, which among them are the giants clams. Three species of
the giant clams were recorded; Tridacna squamosa, Tridacna maxima and Tridacna crocea, which each is a
protected organism in Malaysia. Eight species of holothuroids were also recorded, which include Stichopus
chloronotus, that is highly valued in fisheries while Stichopus variegatus is famous for its medical value. The
highest abundance was recorded by Diadema setosum with a mean density of 0.55 ind. m2. Higher density of D.
setosum implicates that higher abundance of algaes is present in the area. Throughout the survey, several giant
clams Tridacna maxima were found to be amazingly gigantic. This shows that the giant clams in Kg Tekek are
really rare and possibly has reached a very old age. It is hoped that the data presented here can be used to create
a suitable and efficient monitoring program for Pulau Tioman Marine Park.
