Analysis of the Relationship Between Reef Fish Abundance and Coral Reef Cover in Karimun District, Riau Archipelago (Case Study: Pandan, Seranjau, Resam, Sekatip, Kelawa Besar, Kelawa Kecil, and Sebaik Islands)

This study explores the fragile link between coral reef cover and reef fish abundance in the Karimun District, Riau Archipelago, Indonesia. Coral reefs in this area, vital as habitats and spawning grounds, are under severe threat from sand mining, which increases turbidity and introduces harmful elements like magnesium and potassium. Using Point Intercept Transect (PIT) […]

The Greenhouse Effect Threatens Coral Reefs

A new study published in the Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology & Fisheries (2025) highlights how the greenhouse effect is accelerating coral reef degradation. Rising sea surface temperatures trigger coral bleaching, a stress response where corals expel symbiotic algae essential for their growth and survival. In addition, sea level rise—driven by melting polar ice and […]
