Download or read book Coral Disease Identification and Monitoring Manual written by Elouise S Haskin and published by . This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, coral diseases are one of the leading causes of reef decline globally. Understanding the impact of coral disease is important for reef managers in order to better enable them to protect and restore local ecosystems and resources.This course is designed to give experienced divers a deeper understanding of coral reefs, and the threats they face from the many different diseases they've been observed to suffer from. The aim of this manual is to introduce the theory and practical considerations of surveying coral reef sites for disease. This course builds off the knowledge gained during the Conservation Diver Ecological Monitoring Program (EMP) certification, and will provide divers with the techniques needed to track reef health in more sophisticated detail than previously explored.

Download or read book Pathogens of Coral Disease in the Indo Pacific Ocean written by Meir Sussman and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a detailed study of two coral diseases currently prevalent on Indo-Pacific coral reefs. Black Band Disease (BBD) has been first reported from Caribbean reefs and has been investigated in this study on reefs in the Republic of Palau. White Syndrome (WS) has been reported from many locations on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and throughout the Indo-Pacific Ocean. This work identified causative agents for WS, which are all members of the Gammaproteobacteria family Vibrionaceae. This study follows the identification of WS coral pathogens from the initial isolation of putative pathogens, through the design and execution of infection experiments, to the final phylogenic classification of these deadly pathogens and the identification of their unique virulence mechanism. Readers with general interest in the field of coral diseases will find great benefit following the narrative of this study, while scientists specializing in the study of coral diseases will find in this detailed and comprehensive work a detailed manual to mastering the art of coral pathogen identification.
Download or read book Field Guide to Western Atlantic Coral Diseases written by Coral Reef Conservation Program (U.S.) and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Western Atlantic Coral Disease Identification Field Guide uses standardized nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for coral diseases developed by the Coral Disease and Health Consortium (CDHC). This involves a three-tiered approach to naming diseases and a decision tree that would help unify disease names. Through application of a series of steps, a researcher can determine a common field name for a disease which can be further refined based on a morphologic diagnosis and an etiologic diagnosis. This is based on techniques applied to the study of other terrestrial and marine animal diseases that include 1) detection of disease, 2) description of the morphologic changes in the host associated with the disease, 3) evaluation of morphologic changes in the host as disease progresses (e.g., pathogenesis), determining the cause (e.g., etiology), and physiologic changes in the host as the disease progresses (e.g., pathophysiology). These underwater cards help a diver complete a level 1 diagnosis"--P. 2.

Download or read book Field Manual for Investigating Coral Disease Outbreaks written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This manual was developed as an aid to provide context for outbreak investigations and to help train coral disease outbreak response teams so that coordinated response operations can be executed. Chapter 1 provides a rationale for the need to study coral disease and respond to disease outbreaks. Chapter 2 identifies elements critical in the advanced planning process and includes issues such as regulatory and permitting authorities, criteria for mounting a response, and logistical considerations. Chapter 3 is dedicated to describing ICS structure, the functional roles and responsibilities of response team members, and its operation as it has been adapted to Coral Disease Outbreak Investigations. Chapter 4 focuses on the methodologies for collecting field data, samples and preservation techniques to preserve sample integrity suitable for laboratory analyses. Since coral disease field investigations by their very nature requires underwater operations. Chapter 5 addresses safety precautions on the boat, by response divers and during field laboratory operations"--Preface.

Download or read book A Guide to Coral Diseases in the Northern Red Sea Egypt written by Mohammed Ammar and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to providing the scientists and students with a guide for coral disease identification in the northern Red Sea, Egypt and to quantify the coral diseases relative to both biological and non biological stresses in the area. A data base on coral diseases in the area will be established, this will help using coral diseases as biomonitors of environmental impacts, in turn acting to remove or minimize these impacts. Removing or minimizing these impacts will improve the coral reef environment, in turn help to improving fish stocks, tourist attraction, national income; economic, scientific and medical values of coral reef ecosystems. However conserving the marine biodiversity will be improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coral disease is quickly becoming a crisis to the health and management of the world’s coral reefs. There is a great interest from many in preserving coral reefs. Unfortunately, the field of epizootiology is disorganized and lacks a standard vocabulary, methods, and diagnostic techniques, and tropical marine scientists are poorly trained in wildlife pathology, veterinary medicine, and epidemiology. Diseases of Coral will help to rectify this situation.
