Rhodolith beds are distributed from the north eastern to the southeastern Brazilian continental shelf, constituting the largest extension of coralline algal de posits in the world. Little is known about the deep rho dolith beds within the Campos Basin: the largest oil pro duction area in the country and a priority area for marine life conservation. This study illustrates a deep rhodolith bed covering about 15 km of a 40 kmarea in the Peregrino oil field sampled at 100-106 m water depth. Coralline algae are the dominant components on the living rhodolith surfaces associated with subordinate bryozoans, cnidarids, brachiopods and porifers. In some inner parts of the coralline algal nodules, encrusting acervulinid fora minifera are the main nodule contributors. Through accel erator mass spectrometric analysis, radiocarbon age esti mates show that the range in ages between the living outer rhodolith parts and within 3 mm from it the rhodoliths is ca. 4,700 years. This suggests that a proportion of fossil rhodoliths had been recolonized after periods of burial and/or erosion. The presentday Peregrino rhodolith bed played a fundamental ecological role in the Brazilian con tinental shelf’s benthic habitats for thousands of years.

Marine sponges often host metazoan epiand endobionts such as polychaetes or crustaceans that are provided with important functional benefits (e.g. shelter and food) (Wulff et al. 2006). However, evidence for potential benefits gained by the sponge hosts from these associations is scarce. The coral reef sponge Chalinula nematifera (Haplosclerida, Chalinidae; de Laubenfels, 1954) occurs throughout the tropical Indo-West Pacific and has recently been reported to frequently infest, kill and rapidly overgrow various scleractinian coral taxa along the eastern coast of Sulawesi Island, Indonesia (Rossi et al. 2015). To date, the drivers transforming C. nematifera into this potential threat to coral reefs are unknown. During exploratory dives at four sites around Banta Island (8°23′50.86′′S, 119°19′2.83′′E; Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia) in July 2009, C. nematifera was frequently (>50 times) observed spreading over living scleractinian coral colonies on the fore reef (5-10 m water depth; Fig. 1a). In more than 75% of encounters, C. nematifera was associated with dense clusters of minute (size <5 mm), red fluorescent epizoans (up to 8 ind. cm sponge), which were identified as isopods of the genus Santia (Asellota, Santiidae; Sivertsen and Holthuis, 1980) crawling on the sponge surface close to sponge-coral overgrowth zones (Fig. 1b, c). At the explored reef sites, red fluorescent Santia isopods were exclusively found associated with C. nematifera. Lindquist et al. (2005) reported that these Santia isopods owe their bright coloration to dense carpets of unicellular cyanobacteria covering their exoskeletons, which Santia cultivate for consumption. Besides red fluorescence, the cyanobacteria episymbionts produce chemical defense compounds repulsive to reef fishes, and thereby effectively lower predation pressure on their isopod hosts (Lindquist et al. 2005). Whether this microbe-mediated chemical defense function, vital to the isopod-cyanobacteria symbiosis, may potentially also benefit the frequently associated sponge host C. nematifera, i.e. by causing lowered predation pressure due to repulsion of spongivorous fish species, and thus promote its rapid overgrowth of scleractinian corals, remains to be investigated.
海洋海绵通常是后生动物表皮和内源性生物的宿主，如多毛动物或甲壳类动物，它们具有重要的功能效益(例如住所和食物)(Wulff et al. 2006)。然而，海绵宿主从这些关联中获得潜在利益的证据很少。珊瑚礁海绵Chalinula nematifera (Haplosclerida, chalinae);de Laubenfels, 1954)发生在整个热带印度洋-西太平洋地区，最近有报道称，在印度尼西亚苏拉威西岛东海岸，它经常侵染、杀死并迅速过度生长各种石珊瑚分类群(Rossi et al. 2015)。迄今为止，将线虫转化为对珊瑚礁的潜在威胁的驱动因素尚不清楚。在班塔岛周围四个地点(南纬8°23′50.86”，东经119°19′2.83”;2009年7月，在印度尼西亚小巽他群岛(Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia)的前礁(5-10 m水深;图1 a)。在超过75%的接触中，线虫与密集的微小(大小<5毫米)红色荧光绦虫(高达8厘米的海绵)相关联，这些绦虫被鉴定为桑迪亚属等足类(无齿目，桑迪亚科;Sivertsen和Holthuis, 1980)在靠近海绵珊瑚过度生长区域的海绵表面爬行(图1b, c)。在探索的珊瑚礁地点，只发现了与c . nematifera相关的红色荧光Santia等足类。Lindquist等人(2005)报道说，这些桑蒂亚等足类动物的鲜艳颜色归功于覆盖其外骨骼的单细胞蓝藻的密集地毯，桑蒂亚培养这些细菌是为了食用。除了红色荧光外，蓝藻附生生物还产生对礁鱼排斥的化学防御化合物，从而有效地降低了对等足类宿主的捕食压力(Lindquist et al. 2005)。这种微生物介导的化学防御功能(对等足类与蓝藻共生至关重要)是否也可能对经常相关的海绵宿主C. nematifera有利，即由于海绵状鱼类的排斥而降低捕食压力，从而促进其快速过度生长的硬核珊瑚，仍有待研究。

This paper documents the conditions of selected coral communities in the Gulf of Thailand with an insight into the degree of resistance and resilience to coral bleaching and localized anthropogenic disturbances. Live coral coverage at the study sites ranged from 5.2% at Koh Samui to 64.3% at Koh Lan. The most dominant coral species was Porites lutea. Only a few colonies of Acropora were found at the study sites. The most abundant macrobenthic animal was the sea urchin, Diadema setosum, with the highest population density 7.9 of individuals/m2 at Koh Khang Khao and D. setosum was not recorded in the belt transects at Koh Samui. Most coral colonies at Koh Lan showed partial mortality (77%), mainly pink spot and white band syndromes, and reflected potential impacts from coastal tourism. The highest recorded juvenile coral density was 8.3 colonies/m2 at Koh Kood while the lowest one was 1.1 colonies/m2 at Koh Khang Khao. The most abundant juvenile coral at all study sites was Porites spp. The occurrence of low live coral coverage and juvenile coral density in conjunction with high densities of the sea urchin D. setosum at Koh Khang Khao may partly explain why there are no structural reefs on the coasts of many islands in the inner part of the Gulf of Thailand. In addition, the present study documents macroalgae-dominated communities at Koh Samui and implies appropriate strategies and measures for coral reef restoration.

In the summer of 2016, coral reefs in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan suffered from extensive bleaching. The most severe bleaching occurred in Ishigaki Island, with 90% and 40-55% corals bleached in Sekisei Lagoon and Shiraho Reef, respectively (Fig. 1a). In Okinawa, 50-80% of corals were bleached (Fig. 1b). This event was part of a global bleaching event starting in the Mariana Islands in June 2014 and expanding to the South Pacific and Indian Ocean in 2015 and the northern Great Barrier Reef in March 2016 (Hughes et al., 2017) followed by the Ryukyu Islands. The progress of the event was similar to that of 1997-1998 associated with a strong El Niño and finished in the Ryukyu Islands. The spatial distribution of the 2016 bleaching was highly heterogeneous in the northwestern Pacific: most severe in Ishigaki and severe in Okinawa in the southern Ryukyus; moderate in Amami in the northern Ryukyus; limited in Kochi and Kushimoto along the mainland Japan; and only mild or no bleaching in Ogasawara, Guam, and Palau (Electronic Supplementary Mate rial Table 1*). The se verity of the observed bleaching matched well spatially with NOAA Coral Reef Watch’s near real-time satellite 50 km coral bleaching Degree Heating Week (DHW) (Liu et al., 2013) for these sites: the highest values in Ishigaki (10.7°C-weeks) and Oki nawa (10.5), high in Amami (8.2), moderate in Kochi Bleaching in the Ryukyu Islands in 2016 and associated Degree Heating Week threshold
2016年夏天，日本琉球群岛的珊瑚礁大面积白化。最严重的白化发生在石垣岛，Sekisei泻湖和Shiraho礁分别有90%和40-55%的珊瑚白化(图1a)。在冲绳，50-80%的珊瑚白化(图1b)。这一事件是全球白化事件的一部分，始于2014年6月的马里亚纳群岛，2015年扩展到南太平洋和印度洋，2016年3月扩展到大堡礁北部(Hughes et al.， 2017)，随后是琉球群岛。该事件的进展类似于1997-1998年与强厄尔尼诺Niño有关的事件，并在琉球群岛结束。2016年西北太平洋白化的空间分布具有高度异质性:石垣最严重，琉球南部的冲绳最严重;琉球北部奄美温和;在日本大陆沿线的高知县和钏本市有限;在小笠原、关岛和帕劳只有轻微或没有白化(电子补充试验表1*)。观测到的白化程度在空间上与NOAA珊瑚礁观察的近实时卫星50公里珊瑚白化度加热周(DHW) (Liu et al.， 2013)很好地匹配:2016年石崎(10.7°c -周)和Oki nawa(10.5°c -周)的值最高，在Amami(8.2°c -周)高，在琉球群岛的高知白化(中等)和相关的度加热周阈值

Snorkeling about an hour after sunrise, November 6, 2016, we observed high densities of pteropods (Creseis acicula (Rang, 1828); visually estimated >3 pteropods l) swarming in the waters above the shallow coral reef of Eilat, Israel. Many pteropods were captured by massive corals with large polyps (Merulinidae: Dipsastraea spp., Favites spp., Platygyra sp. and others). Some of the captured pteropods exceeded one cm in length. In some corals, we observed single polyps ingesting up to three pteropods (Fig 1 A, B). Empty shells were found on the bottom beneath the corals. Neither captured pteropods nor empty shells were found in or around corals with small polyps, including Acropora spp., Pocillopora damicornis (Linnaeus, 1758), and Stylophora pistillata Esper, 1797. Corals with large polyps are thought to feed on larger zooplankton, mostly crustaceans (e.g., Porter 1976). Although Janssen (2007) anecdotally mentions an observation of live corals feeding on pteropods following the mass stranding of C. acicula in the shallow waters of Dahab, Red Sea, mentioning of pteropods as a component in coral diet are scarce (Comeau et al. 2013). Our observation provides evidence, however qualitative, for a remarkable difference between corals with large vs. small polyps in their ability to prey on large zooplankton. As repetitive swarming of pteropods were reported from certain reefs (Goswami et al. 1982; Janssen 2007), our findings suggest that their contribution to the corals’ diet may be significant.
