Million, Maria Ruggeri, Sibelle O\u2019Donnell, Erich Bartels, Trinity Conn, Krediet and USC\u2019s Gabilan Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences Carly Kenkel, Ph.D., monitored the growth, health and mortality of each coral species on each reef for three years.<\/p>\n

Science diver SCUBA teams took photographs in order to create 3D models of the planted corals to accurately measure their growth and hardiness over time. Krediet says Eckerd students assisted with the data collection and processing on the boat and in the lab at Mote for each trip.<\/p>\n

Throughout the study, researchers discovered that the Caribbean coral Acropora cervicornis<\/em> is phenotypically plastic\u2014meaning that certain genotypes can grow well in differing conditions, including water temperatures and light concentrations. \u201cBecause of the plasticity observed,\u201d Krediet notes, \u201cfuture restoration projects may be able to target certain coral genotypes for outplanting at specific reef sites.\u201d<\/p>\n

Krediet says now that work on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a> grant project has concluded, he and his students will continue studying corals to identify bacteria that can act as probiotics to help improve the resilience of existing reefs. Work is already underway in his campus laboratory, and the next step will be to introduce the bacteria to corals in contained aquarium environments at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Summerland Key, Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just applied for some funding that we will find out about early next semester,\u201d Krediet says. \u201cWe\u2019ve already identified some candidate microbes with our anemone system, and the next step will be to introduce those to some corals and record the interactions.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”10003″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Associate Professor Krediet inspects a coral sample.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
