Abstract:
Microorganisms are central to the functioning of coral reef ecosystems, but their dynamics are unstudied on most reefs. We examined the microbial ecology of shallow reefs within the Federated States of Micronesia. We surveyed 20 reefs surrounding 7 islands and atolls (Yap, Woleai, Olimarao, Kosrae, Kapingamarangi, Nukuoro, and Pohnpei), spanning 875053 km2. On the reefs, we found consistently higher coral coverage (mean ± SD = 36.9 ± 22.2%; max 77%) compared to macroalgae coverage (15.2 ± 15.5%; max 58%), and low abundances of fish. Reef waters had low inorganic nutrient concentrations and were dominated by Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus, and SAR11 bacteria. The richness of bacterial and archaeal communities was significantly related to interactions between island/atoll and depth. High coral coverage on reefs was linked to higher relative abundances of Flavobacteriaceae, Leisingera, Owenweeksia, Vibrio, and the OM27 clade, as well as other heterotrophic bacterial groups, consistent with communities residing in waters near corals and within coral mucus. Microbial community structure at reef depth was significantly correlated with geographic distance, suggesting that island biogeography influences reef microbial communities. Reefs at Kosrae Island, which hosted the highest coral abundance and diversity, were unique compared to other locations; seawater from Kosrae reefs had the lowest organic carbon (59.8-67.9 µM), highest organic nitrogen (4.5-5.3 µM), and harbored consistent microbial communities (>85% similar), which were dominated by heterotrophic cells. This study suggests that the reef-water microbial ecology on Micronesian reefs is influenced by the density and diversity of corals as well as other biogeographical features.

Abstract:
While benthic characteristics of coral reef habitats are a major driver of the structure of coral reef fish assemblages, non-reef habitats adjacent to coral reefs (e.g., mangroves, seagrass beds, and macroalgal beds) can affect reef fish assemblages. Here, we investigate how reef fish assemblages respond to local-scale benthic habitats within a coral reef and larger-scale adjacent seascape features (habitats within 500 m of coral reefs) on Siquijor Island in the Philippines. We examined an abundance of species for the entire reef fish assemblage and within the assemblages of parrotfishes (subfamily Scarinae) and wrasses (family Labridae). Five distinct habitat types were identified in a cluster analysis, which incorporated benthic characteristics within coral reefs and habitats adjacent to coral reefs. We found that the diversity and structure of coral reef fish assemblages were affected by benthic characteristics within coral reefs and also by benthic habitat types adjacent to coral reefs. Individual species responses and juveniles of certain species demonstrated uniquely high abundances in habitat clusters characterized by the non-reef habitats surrounding coral reefs. Considering coral reef habitats and adjacent non-reef habitats as a holistic, interconnected seascape will provide better estimations of the drivers of the structures of coral reef fish assemblages.

Abstract:
Mesophotic coral reefs, currently defined as deep reefs between 30 and 150 m, are linked physically and biologically to their shallow water counterparts, have the potential to be refuges for shallow coral reef taxa such as coral and sponges, and might be a source of larvae that could contribute to the resiliency of shallow water reefs. Mesophotic coral reefs are found worldwide, but most are undescribed and understudied. Here, we review our current knowledge of mesophotic coral reefs and their functional ecology as it relates to their geomorphology, changes in the abiotic environment along depth gradients, trophic ecology, their reproduction, and their connectivity to shallow depths. Understanding the ecology of mesophotic coral reefs, and the connectivity between them and their shallow water counterparts, is now a primary focus for many reef studies as the worldwide degradation of shallow coral reefs, and the ecosystem services they provide, continues unabated.

Abstract:
Artificial reefs now form part of an integrated approach to enhance fisheries around the world. A responsible approach to artificial reef deployment calls for clear, well defined goals prior to any reef being placed in the field, followed by subsequent monitoring to assess whether these goals are being achieved. In this study, to evaluate if an artificial reef off Sydney was meeting its goal of providing quality fishing opportunities through the establishment of a complex fish assemblage, a 4-year monitoring program was designed. This program examined the response of reef-associated and pelagic fishes to the deployment of a purpose built offshore reef, relative to control reefs. Fish were observed immediately following deployment, but the artificial reef fish assemblage remained distinct from the three natural control reefs throughout the monitoring period. Also, the artificial reef displayed inter-annual variability associated with successional processes, which was not evident on the natural reefs. Fish length data indicated that the artificial reef was providing resources for both juvenile and adults of a number of species. This study demonstrates artificial reefs can provide habitats for a diverse group of fish, but the assemblages are unlikely to mimic those on natural reefs. We have also shown that longer term monitoring periods, covering multiple years are required to gain a robust understanding of the response of fish to reef deployment. This information can be used to understand the benefits and limitations of future artificial reef deployments.

Abstract:
Effects of anthropogenic inputs on corals are well documented in regard to the ecology of coral reefs. However, responses to anthropogenic changes by sponge assemblages, also a key component of coral reefs, have received less attention. This paper quantifies differences in abundance, size and distribution of the sponge Rhopaloeides odorabile across a cross-shelf reef system on the central Great Barrier Reef (GBR) from neritic to outer reef oligotrophic waters. Benthic surveys were conducted in reef habitats spatially separated across the continental shelf. The mean abundance of R. odorabile increased significantly with increasing distance from coastal habitats, with 3.5 times more individuals offshore than inshore. In contrast, the mean size (volume) of R. odorabile individuals did not differ significantly across the cross-shelf reef system. On inshore reefs, R. odorabile was restricted to depths <10 m, with a preference for shallower depths (5–6 m). On offshore reefs, R. odorabile was found as deep as 15 m and predominantly between 9 and 10 m. These demographic changes in R. odorabile populations, together with a general population size reduction from surveys made decades prior, suggest a response to anthropogenic impacts across the continental shelf of the central GBR.

Abstract:
Visual censuses were used to quantify the distribution and abundance of the Lutjanidae, Lethrinidae and Serranidae in three reef zones (windward reef slope, lagoon, back reef) of three reefs on the mid shelf and three reefs on the outer continental shelf in the central region of the Great Barrier Reef. Significant spatial variability was identified in the abundances of many species between locations (outer-shelf and mid-shelf communities), between reefs (high-abundance v. low-abundance reefs), and within reefs (characteristic communities within zones on individual reefs). Species of the Lutjanidae, Lethrinidae and Serranidae were found to occur in assemblages that were characteristic of major zones (windward reef slopes, lagoons and leeward back reefs), this pattern being consistent within and among shelf locations. Care will need to be taken in determining the appropriate spatial scales of sampling in any future experiments (e.g. manipulations of fishing pressure) to ensure that the effects of smaller-scale spatial differences are not confounded when larger-scale comparisons are made.

Abstract:
Given the global threats towards coral reefs, this conference’s central theme, “Reef coral biotechnology”, is particularly timely. Our goal is to promote communication and dialogue in this field among marine researchers within and outside of Taiwan, and we have invited experts in the fields of coral reef ecology, physiology, conservation, and biotechnology to discuss their recent findings with a cadre of both local and foreign scientists, as well as students (undergraduate, Master’s, and Ph.D. students). We envision that these presentations will segue into discussions and collaborations that stimulate innovation in reef coral biotechnology, and particularly in the development of tools and approaches that improve the odds of conserving coral reefs and biopreserving reef corals.

Abstract:
Artificial reefs have significantly altered ecological and environmental conditions compared with natural reefs, but how these changes affect sediment bacteria structure and function is unknown. Here, we compared the structure and function of the sediment bacterial community in the artificial reef area, the future artificial reef area, and the control area in Bohai Bay by 16S rRNA genes sequencing. Our results indicated that bacteria communities in the sediment were both taxonomically and functionally different between the reef area and control area. In the artificial reef area, the α-diversity was significantly lower, whereas the β-diversity was significantly higher. Functional genes related to chemo-heterotrophy, nitrate reduction, hydrocarbon degradation, and the human pathogens and human gut were more abundant, whereas genes related to the metabolism of sulfur compounds were less abundant in the artificial reef than in the control area. The differences in bacterial communities were primarily determined by depth in the artificial reef area, and by total organic carbon in the future reef area and control area. This study provides the first overview of molecular ecology to assess the impacts of artificial reefs on the bacteria community.

Abstract:
Bibliography: p. 492-494.
This thesis provides a complete taxonomic review of South African hermatypic Scleractinian reef corals, a description of coral communities on northern Natal coral reefs, experiments isolating the influence of the most important abiotic factors forcing these communities and finally management suggestions for the marine reserves within which these reefs are situated, based on the results of the ecological investigation. The taxonomic part reviews the entire hermatypic scleractinian coral fauna of South Africa and Southern Mozambique, including also material from the Atoll Bassas da India in the Mozambique channel. The study of coral communities on Northern Natal coral reefs revealed major differences in the nature of the reefs and the community structure of the reef corals from typical coral reefs in the Inda-Pacific. The study lead to the assumption that wave-action and sedimentation are the most important abiotic factors influencing these coral communities. These hypotheses were experimentally tested in the field and in the laboratory, using indicator species for specific community types, as identified in the community study. Testing fragment survival of the hard coral Acropora austera confirmed the assumption that wave action is an important factor shaping coral communities by only allowing this species to dominate in depths greater than 18m. Four hard- and five soft coral species were used to quantify the effects of sedimentation on the coral communities. It was demonstrated that long-term sedimentation had greater influence on soft corals than on hard corals, leading to tissue necroses and local bleaching. These experiments confirmed the assumption that sedimentation is a major forcing factor on South African coral communities. The final part of thesis provides management options for the St. Lucia and Maputaland Marine Reserves focussing on conservation of the coral communities. The findings obtained in the ecological investigation allowed to identify which activities in the reserves have to be controlled in order to minimize damage to the coral communities by park visitors.

Abstract:
The marine environment presents fewer absolute geographic barriers to gene flow than its terrestrial and freshwater counterparts. In addition, the prevalence of planktonic larval stages in marine taxa provides potential for gene flow across large geographic distances. These observations raise two fundamental questions. How do new species arise in the marine environment? Considering the potential for gene flow in marine systems, it remains unclear to what extent allopatric speciation alone can account for the high levels of diversity observed in the marine realm, whether marine speciation also operates in the presence of gene flow, and if it does under what specific mechanisms. How far do planktonic larvae travel with marine currents? The generally low levels of genetic structure among marine populations suggests extensive dispersal, yet planktonic larvae are notoriously difficult to track owing to their small size and as a consequence the spatial scale of marine dispersal is still largely eluding ecologists. Here, I consider brightly colored coral reef fishes in the genus Hypop/ectrus (Serranidae) as a model system to address these two questions. I demonstrate the potential for ecological speciation with gene flow to operate in this system through the pleiotropic effect of color pattern, which appears to be involved both in mimicry and mate choice. I show that local processes are operating at the Caribbean scale in this system, suggesting dispersal limitation. I test and confirm this hypothesis by reporting genetic isolation by distance in the barred hamlet (Hypop/ectrus puel/a) at spatial scales ranging from 175 to 3,200 km. In order to estimate mean dispersal distance, I complement genetic data with SCUBA surveys of population densities covering 94,000 m2 of reef and provide dispersal estimates ranging between 2 and 14 km for specific dispersal functions notwithstanding the three-week pelagic larval stage of H. puel/a and very low levels of genetic structure a
L'environnement marin présente moins de barrières au flux génétique que ses équivalents terrestres et d'eau douce. De plus, les phases planctoniques larvaires prévalences chez les espèces marines peuvent potentiellement maintenir un flux génétique a travers de grandes distances géographiques. Ces observations soulèvent deux questions fondamentales. Comment se développent de nouvelles espèces dans le milieu marin? Considérant le flux génétique potentiellement important, il demeure incertain dans quelle mesure la spéciation allopatrique peut expliquer la grande diversité observée dans le milieu marin, si la speciation opère également en présence de "flux génétique, et si oui par quels mécanismes. Quelle distance parcourent les phases larvaires planctoniques avec les courants marins? La structure génétique généralement faible parmi les populations marines suggère une dispersion extensive, mais les larves planctoniques sont notoirement difficiles a suivre en raison de leur petite taille et par conséquent I’ échelle spatiale de la dispersion marine échappe encore largement aux écologues.lci, je considère les poissons de récifs coralliens brillamment colores du genre HypopJectrus (Serranidae) comme systeme modèle pour aborder ces deux questions. Je démontre comment la speciation écologique avec flux génétique peut opérer dans ce système par I’ effet plëiotropique du patron de coloration, qui semble être impliquée dans le mimétisme ainsi que dans le choix d'un partenaire sexuel. Je montre que des processus locaux opèrent a I’ échelle des Caraïbes dans ce systeme, ce qui suggère une dispersion limitée. Je teste et confirme cette hypothèse en reportant de I’ isolement génétique par la distance chez HypopJectrus puella des échelles spatiales allant de 175 a3,200 km. Afin d'estimer la distance de dispersion moyenne je complémente les données génétiques avec des relèves de densités de population couvrant

Abstract:
Understanding the biogeography of reef fish assemblages is paramount to reef conservation, management, and conducting appropriate population survey designs. Reef fish assemblages are a multispecies complex of reef-associated fish and are shaped by multiple environmental and biological factors (e.g. temperature, depth, benthic habitat, and topographic relief), which determine the species constituents residing in an area. Assemblages typically change with latitude where the number of families, genera, and/or densities of species specific to warmer climates decrease poleward into colder climate regimes. The Florida Reef Tract (FRT) extends for 595 km from the Dry Tortugas in the south-west to Martin County in the north, crossing a sub-tropical to temperate climate transition. This study investigates the biogeography of reef fish assemblages throughout the FRT to determine if they correspond to previous regional delineations that were primarily based on coastal geomorphology. Multivariate density analyses show that depth, habitat, relief, and region are major factors in determining the assemblages. Four main ecoregions were evident based on depth, benthic habitat, relief and latitudinal region: Dry Tortugas (DT), Florida Keys (FK), Southeast mainland (SE), and Bahamas Fracture Zone (BF). DT split into four biogeographic assemblage regions primarily based on depth, and relief. FK split into five biogeographic assemblage regions with a sixth extending through Broward County primarily based on depth, habitat type, and relief. SE split into four biogeographic assemblage regions primarily based on depth, and region. BF split into three biogeographic assemblage regions primarily based on depth, and region. These sixteen assemblages represent the current composition of reef fish based on four factors. Numerous other factors also affect reef fish assemblages (e.g. past and present fishing pressure, mangrove nursery habitat, and coral death) that were not part of the analysis but are discussed. The final reef fish assemblage regions were associated with previous benthic habitat maps in order to view their spatial extent. Having a map of current biogeographic reef fish assemblages serves as a baseline and allows more accurate management and monitoring of future reef fish populations.

Abstract:
Abstract Objective/Scope The H.T.M.S Underwater Learning Sites Project is initiated in 2010 with the main objectives to rehabilitate marine ecology by reusing the decommissioned battleships, namely H.T.M.S. Prab and H.T.M.S. Sattakut, as a new home of marine life and sessile organisms, to enrich the marine biodiversity, to be the learning sites of marine life in long-term basis, and to create new diving sites to attract the tourists, reduce the effects on natural coral reefs from harmful activities such as tourist boat anchoring or mooring onto them, scuba diving damage by touching or stirring up sand sediments, as well as generate a considerable income for local communities. Methods, Procedures, Process PTTEP has engaged government agencies, academic institutions, local businesses, and communities to consider the most suitable structure to be used as a new underwater learning site. In 2011, after studying man-made reefs and ensuring the minimal impact on marine ecology, two decommissioned ships offered by the Royal Thai Navy were placed underwater at Koh Ngam Noi and Koh Tao in southern Thailand, the world's famous scuba diving destinations. The underwater ecosystem and biodiversity study has also been conducted before and after the installation of two ships including the study on environmental impact, marine biodiversity, and impact on natural coral reefs. Results, Observations, Conclusions The study in 2018 showing the increasing number of small fish from 10 species in 2011 to more than 60 species that reflected the increasing of marine ecology and biodiversity. A recent study shows that these man-made diving sites helped reducing number of touching coral reefs for 16,058,800 times since 2014. Moreover, there was no significant impact on the conditions of the seabed in every area studied. The number of tourists and divers are growing up 37.7% at Koh Ngam Noi, Chumphon province and 18.8% at Koh Tao, Surat Thani province which were able to boost community's economy. The project has generated income to local communities with more than 413 million THB (12.5 million USD) or 59 million THB (1.8 million USD) annually. In 2017, the project was measured by using Social Return on Investment (SROI) method with the satisfied outcome as 5.34:1 (THB) which means for every 1 THB invested in the program, created 5.34 THB in societal benefit. Moreover, the project has generated positive media exposure through activities with PR value of over 55.7 million THB (1.7 million USD) since 2011, raising awareness on marine ecology conservation and contribution to the company's reputation. Novel/Additive Information These battleship-man-made dive sites will be in service for more than 60 years and the study on marine ecology and biodiversity will be continuously conducted from time to time to ensure the sustainability in marine ecology. The achievement of this project benefits to petroleum industry by creating public perception and understanding of man-made reef which could be beneficial to Rigs-to-Reefs, as the sound practice of converting decommissioned offshore oil and petroleum rigs and platforms into artificial reefs.

Abstract:
Abstract Sharks are pivotal apex predators in marine ecosystems and migrate up to thousands of miles throughout their lifetimes. Shark movement is studied using satellite tracking tags, which are typically attached to the dorsal fin. Tags either send a signal when the dorsal fin breaches or detach from the shark and float to surface to communicate with the satellite (Fig.1). While spatiotemporally resolved movement data is valuable to studying shark ecology and conservation, satellite tags impose hydrodynamic loading which produces a drag force on the shark, potentially influencing their behavior, leading to incorrect movement analysis. Since tags change the streamlined body shape of animals, they may influence swimming patterns, especially at high speeds since drag increases with velocity. In this study, we used existing 3D digital models of three shark species — the Great Hammerhead, Blacktip Reef, and Caribbean Reef — to assess the effects and influence future tag design. This paper explores flume testing at the OSU O.H. Hinsdale Wave Lab to improve CFD validation. A cart apparatus was glided across the flume at controlled velocities to simulate average cruising speeds of each shark species at angles of attack of 0°, 12°, and −12° degrees for neutral, rising, and diving movement patterns, respectively. We compared the output drag and lift coefficients to coefficients generated using CFD simulations in STAR-CCM+. Across the three species and angles of attack, the mean percent error was 47.3% ±34.1% standard deviation (SD) for the drag coefficient and 97.8% ±69.0% SD for the lift coefficient. Future work incorporates attaching scaled satellite tag models to shark models to compare to untagged data with the intent of informing subsequent tag designs.
