MPAs do not adequately protect coral reef fish. Marine protected areas (MPAs) around Oʻahu in Hawai’i do not adequately protect populations of herbivorous reef fishes that eat algae on coral reefs. That […]
Community action can boost coral reef fish numbers. New research has found that positive community action can boost fish numbers in coral reefs and safeguard fish numbers there in the […]
Tiny fish fuel coral reefs. Scientists have long sought to understand how coral reefs support such an abundance of fish life despite their location in nutrient-poor waters. According to a […]
Coral reef parks contain less fish biomass. Marine scientists from WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) and other groups examining the ecological status of coral reefs across the Indian and Pacific oceans […]
Technology allows scientists to track lost nets on coral reefs. When fishing nets are lost or abandoned, they can drift at sea, threatening marine life. Fish aren’t the only animals […]
Traffic calming boosts breeding on coral reefs. Coral reef fish breed more successfully if motorboat noise is reduced, new research shows. Scientists introduced ‘traffic calming’ on three reefs for an […]
The latest Reef Water Quality Report Card released late on Friday shows the Queensland and Australian governments are running out of time to improve pollution on our Great Barrier Reef, […]
Labour abuse and illegal fishing risks. Stanford-led study reveals extent of labour abuse and illegal fishing risks among fishing fleets. Monitoring the world’s fishing fleets for labour abuse and illegal […]
A long-term study of Hawaiian coral species provided a surprisingly optimistic view of how they might survive warmer and more acidic oceans resulting from climate change. Study authors, including researchers […]
New collaborative fishing gear recovery and reuse project launched by Satlink, ORP and IPNLF in the Maldives. Framed within Satlink’s Zero Impact campaign, this initiative will work with local communities […]
Bleached coral reefs continue to supply nutritious seafood giving unexpected hope for millions. Researchers studying coral reefs damaged by rising sea temperatures have discovered an unexpected ‘bright spot’ of hope […]
Fish help control crown-of-thorns starfish numbers on Great Barrier Reef. Reef fish, such as emperors, tropical snappers and rockcods, help keep numbers of crown-of-thorns starfish in check on the Great […]
Chemical pollutants disrupt reproduction in anemonefish By Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Ocean pollution is unfortunately becoming more commonplace, raising concerns over the […]
Plankton-eating fish drive fishing ‘sweet spots’. A new study has found ocean plankton and their predators are responsible for sparking ‘sweet spots’ of abundant fish in tropical coral reefs. These areas will […]
Rising sea surface temperatures driving loss of 14% of corals since 2009. The newly released report, ‘Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2020’, documents the loss of approximately 14 per […]
New study reveals knock-on cost of stopping illegal fishing. A new study reveals the strategies that stop bandits from illegally fishing in Australian waters—but warns there is a cost to the region’s […]
A future ocean that is too warm for corals might have half as many fish species. Predicting the potential effects of coral loss on fish communities globally is a fundamental […]
Fish adapt to ocean acidification by modifying gene expression. Human-driven global change is challenging the scientific community to understand how marine species might adapt to predicted environmental conditions in the […]
Time running out to save coral reefs. New research on the growth rates of coral reefs shows there is still a window of opportunity to save the world’s coral reefs—but […]
Warming seas might also look less colourful to some fish: Here’s why that matters. When marine biologist Eleanor Caves of the University of Exeter thinks back to her first scuba […]
