Dave Santos Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hi Folks, New member, with varied aquarium and ocean experience, but never done Reef Aquaria. Looking for Austin-area research team partners with coral expertise to help develop wild coral reef protection systems against bleaching and acidification threats. Thanks, Dave Santos Gorena-Guinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Welcome to the club! Intriguing! There's tons of research showing labile DOC (carbon dosing) promotes bleaching. Here's some of the research I've found: Phosphate deficiency promotes coral bleaching and is reflected by the ultrastructure of symbiotic dinoflagellateshttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0025326X17301601?via%3Dihub Indirect effects of algae on coral: algae‐mediated, microbe‐induced coral mortalityhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1461-0248.2006.00937.x Role of elevated organic carbon levels and microbial activity in coral mortalityhttp://www.int-res.com/articles/meps2006/314/m314p119.pdf Pathologies and mortality rates caused by organic carbon and nutrient stressors in three Caribbean coral species. DOC caused coral death but not high nitrates, phosphates or ammonium.http://www.int-res.com/articles/meps2005/294/m294p173.pdf Sugar enrichment provides evidence for a role of nitrogen fixation in coral bleachinghttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/gcb.13695 Elevated ammonium delays the impairment of the coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis during labile carbon pollutionhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166445X19307192 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
