The family Labridae‚ otherwise known as wrasses‚ is marine fish consisting of more than 575 species found in warm-temperate and tropical reefs around the globe (Wainwright et al. 2004). Of all of the coral reef fishes worldwide‚ the family Labridae is one of the most morphologically diverse (Westneat 1995). Due to their different morphologies‚ different fishes within the species prey on different types of food. The main difference making up the separate morphologies‚ and subsequently feeding habits

success stories in protecting its flora and fauna. Redang hosts some of the largest seabird colonies in the world. The marine life around the islands‚ especially the more remote coral islands‚ can be spectacular. More than 1000 species of fish have been recorded. The reefs comprise a vast selection of soft corals and hard corals alike. There is great diving and snorkeling opportunity. For me who are interested in diving and snorkelling activities‚ Redang is the must visit. The most popular activities

dinoflagellate can look like a small brown ball that is structured as whorls and spines. Some are microscopic and others can grow as big as caviar. The good a dinoflagellate does is that without them‚ coral reefs would not be possible. Flagella provide about 90% of the nutrition coral needs to survive. Coral reefs

oil are less likely to reach the shoreline. However‚ dispersants used on the shoreline could harm corals and other marine life on land because the dispersed oil has a better chance of hitting them. Chemical dispersants causes the oil slick to sink in the water. This can create a far better damage than when it is on the surface. According to the Silliman University team‚ 47‚000 hectares of hard coral in the southern coastal areas of Guimaras were not affected by the oil spill. This means that

Input from the freshwater streams provides nutrients‚ sediment and other materials into the bay. Pollutants are added to the bay from terrestrial runoff and land development. Kane’ohe Bay is also an area known to be a popular location for take of desirable aquarium fishes.

Follow David to deeper part of the reef below 150 meters or so‚ life becomes more impossible because coral can’t perform photosynthesis without light. Therefore‚ no plant can survive just Animals. Also‚ David said that Animals only survive in this zone because of “marine snow” which is death organic matter from above. When

cod? Butterfly cods are spectacular fish with brilliant colouring and long defensive spiny fins. It is part of the scorpionfish family‚ but unlike other members of this family which often rely on camouflage for protection‚ they swim freely around coral reefs‚ leaving their venomous fins to give them 360 degree protection. They include the firefish (Pterois species) and lionfish (Dendrochirus species). What do they look like? Butterfly cod are characterised by their long‚ spiny fins. The dorsal‚ anal
