Coral Bleaching Increases Chances Of Coral Disease
Mass coral bleaching has devastated coral colonies around the world for almost three decades. Now scientists have found that bleaching can make corals more susceptible to disease and, in turn, coral disease can exacerbate the negative effects of bleaching. A new article shows that when they occur together, this combination of afflictions causes greater harm to corals than either does on its own.
Juvenile Bluefin Tuna Found To Dive To Depths Of More Than 1000 Meters
A bluefin tuna, tagged by researchers in August 2008, was caught a year later by a professional bait boat off the coast of northern Spain. The animal had internally implanted electronic tag which enabled its migratory movements and the depth of these, amongst other data, to be obtained. First estimations of the geographical location of the recovered tag revealed that this fish had undertaken migrations between the Azores and Portugal during the winter, later to return to the Gulf of Bizkaia in spring and also that it had dropped, during the winter, to depths of more than 1000 meters.
