The Fourth Global Coral Bleaching Event was officially confirmed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) International Reef Initiative (ICRI) on April 15, 2024, with press releases a coordinated call
Although coral diseases and compromised health conditions (CHCs) are one of the most prominent threats to reefs globally, they have yet be thoroughly investigated in Western Indian Ocean. This study aimed assess prevalence spatial distribution CHCs around Mauritius. Six [Growth Anomaly (GA), Skeletal Eroding Band (SEB), Brown (BrBD), Porites White Patch Syndrome (PWPS), Syndromes (WSs), Yellow (YB)] four [Pink Patches (PP), Pink Spots (PS), Line (PLS), Focal Bleaching (FB)] were spatially...
Increasing frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves worldwide warrant characterizing understanding variation in thermal response among reef corals through situ ex experimentation to ultimately help with coral conservation management strategies. This study first characterized species Pocilloporidae, including two morphs Stylophora Pocillopora spp., from the Mauritian waters using morphology genetics. The photo-physiological responses bleaching sensitivity were then examined when exposed...
Abstract. Ricot M, Jeetun S, Joggee Kaullysing D, Taleb-Hossenkhan N, Bhagooli R. 2023. Thermal photo-physiological responses of massive heat-resistant coral Porites lutea under fish predated versus non-predated conditions. Indo Pac J Ocean Life 7: 38-47. Fish predation on corals leading to polyp and tissue loss has been identified as a significant stressor is often associated with reduced growth, reproduction, even mortality. However, how climate change-driven ocean warming may impact such...
AbstractThis study aimed to test the effects of rainfall-driven nutrient loading on microphytoplankton dynamics in shallow water at Trou aux Biches lagoon northwest coast Mauritius. Changes density, diversity and estimated productivity were monitored three zones—coast, reef—during two rainfall periods 4 3 days’ duration, respectively, March–April 2017. The average from terrestrial runoff was 15.5% salinity decreased by 2.5%. Following events, a 3-fold increase total density (TMPD), with...
This study presents the first report of variable photo-physiology healthy-looking and bleached corals from upper mesophotic waters Mascarene Plateau. In May 2018, during FAO EAF-Nansen research expedition cruise, coral bleaching was visually observed. Five species Saya de Malha Bank, namely Heliopora coerulea, Favites sp. Porites 27 m Acropora Lithophyllon repanda 30 m, three Nazareth Galaxea fascicularis 36 Stylophora-like 58 were studied using Video-Assisted Multi-Sampler (VAMS) collected...
Abstract Damselfish of the genus Stegastes inhabit territories and cultivate algal gardens on branching corals Acropora , aggressively protecting their from other fish preventing predation upon within territory. This behaviour has important ecological impacts could also be useful in reducing outplanted during reef restoration efforts. However, degree protection predators may depend ability spp. to recolonise or newly established coral colonies. Protection bleaching-resilient massive...
The photosynthetic performance of macroalgae and seagrasses related to their body parts, depth colours from the poorly-studied Saya de Malha Nazareth Banks on Mascarene Plateau was investigated in this study. Two seagrass (Thalassodendron ciliatum Halophila decipiens) seven species (Caulerpa cupressoides, Acrosorium ciliolatum, Dictyosphaeria cavernosa, Halimeda opuntia, Ulva sp., Udotea orientalis palmetta) were collected using five Van Veen grabs attached Video-Assisted Multi-Sampler...
Abstract. Soondur M, Kaullysing K, Ramah S, Bhagooli R. 2023. Diversity, density and photo-physiology of micro-phytoplankton from degraded non-degraded reefs around Rodrigues Island, Western Indian Ocean. Indo Pac J Ocean Life 7: 108-121. This study aimed at investigating the variations in diversity, between a degraded, Anse Aux Anglais (AAA) north, non-degraded, Port Sud-Est (PSE) southeast, Republic Mauritius. Sampling was carried out summer winter seasons 2016 to 2019 two sites, PSE AAA....

Understanding the factors influencing variability in composition of fish assemblages is essential for bolstering resilience coral reef ecosystems, effective management and maintaining sustainable fisheries. The benthic at eight sites poorly studied St. Brandon, also known as a bank fisheries area Indian Ocean, were assessed to discern distribution patterns, including differences between channel (Passe Grand Capitaine, Passe Ile Longue-Canal Coco La Cayane) non-channel (Chaloupe, Anchor...
