A new species of algae has been discovered in reef corals of the Persian (Arabian) Gulf where it helps corals to
survive seawater temperatures of up to 36 degrees Celsius — temperatures that would kill corals elsewhere.

The results show that blue crabs can — at moderate water
temperatures —
survive at oxygen levels as low as 1.3 milligrams per liter, just 15 % of the oxygen available in fully saturated
seawater.
They were able to maintain this strong increase in oxygen uptake even when the
seawater temperature was increased to 37 °C — a
temperature at which coral reef fish can not even
survive for a short time.»
