Study lead author, Coral CoE PhD candidate, Adrian Arias says the model of predicting illegal patterns from old records can be used to increase the success of patrols in other locations.

Professor Bob Pressey, also from Coral CoE, says authorities could use this knowledge to match patrols to the time and place when illegal fishers are most likely to be in action.

Researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE) at James Cook University, who are attending the conference, have found a way to predict illegal fishing activities to help authorities better protect marine reserves.

Study co-author, James Cook University Professor Sean Connoly, from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE), said this will make it more difficult for larger systems to recover after cyclones and coral bleaching because fewer larvae will disperse from other reefs.

Researchers from The University of Western Australia (UWA), ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE), and Western Australian Marine Science Institution have examined the impact of the 2016 mass bleaching event on reefs in Western Australia (WA).

«Surprisingly, we found that some proteins that respond to short - term thermal stress (called heat - shock proteins) did not respond over the long - term,» says Professor Philip Munday from the Coral CoE.

«We surveyed more than 80,000 corals around the Whitsunday Islands for six different diseases that commonly harm reef corals around the world,» says study lead author, Dr Joleah Lamb from the Coral CoE.

«No take marine reserves are a promising approach for mitigating coral disease in locations where the concentration or intensity of fishing effort is relatively high,» says Professor Garry Russ from the Coral CoE.

Professor Geoffrey Jones, also from the Coral CoE adds that the findings are a concern for the millions of people living around the equator who depend on fishing for food and their livelihoods.

Professor Sean Connolly from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE) at James Cook University (JCU) is the lead author of the international study, which he says overturns the long - used theory by employing a novel mathematical method.

In a paper published in Science today, researchers from ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE) at James Cook University (JCU) and the University of Queensland (UQ), as well as the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) investigated what this warming pattern means for GBR coral bleaching events into the future.

«A stable and healthy reef includes a high abundance and diversity of predatory fish and a relatively low number of herbivorous and small prey fish,» says study lead author April Boaden, a PhD student at the Coral CoE.

Now researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE) at James Cook University have found that removing predatory fish such as coral trout and snapper, through fishing, causes significant changes to the make - up of the reef's fish populations.

«Major disturbances such as cyclones, coral bleaching, climate change, Crown of Thorns Starfish and river run - off are thought to be the primary agents of change on the Great Barrier Reef,» says study co-author, Professor Mike Kingsford from the Coral CoE.

«We're now at a point where we've lost close to half of the corals in shallow - water habitats across the northern two - thirds of the Great Barrier Reef due to back - to - back bleaching over two consecutive years,» said Prof Sean Connolly of Coral CoE at James Cook University.

«The coral die - off has caused radical changes in the mix of coral species on hundreds of individual reefs, where mature and diverse reef communities are being transformed into more degraded systems, with just a few tough species remaining,» said co-author Prof Andrew Baird of Coral CoE at James Cook University.

«We found that both branching and massive corals exposed at low tide coped better with heat stress than s corals from deeper water,» says co-author Professor Malcolm McCulloch from the Coral CoE.
