Heat Proofing Coral Aussie Discovery Throws A Lifeline To World S The researchers bolstered the microalgae’s heat tolerance through exposure to elevated temperatures over 10 years. they then offered these evolved microalgae to a series of chemically bleached adult coral fragments from the species galaxea fascicularis.

Heat Proofing Coral Aussie Discovery Throws A Lifeline To World S A staggering 77% of the world’s coral reef areas — from the atlantic to the pacific to the indian oceans — have so far been subjected to bleaching level heat stress, according to satellite. A new study has shown that selective breeding can lead to a modest rise in coral heat tolerance. the study documents the world s first effort to selectively breed adult corals for enhanced heat. Science and environment ‘heat proofing’ coral: aussie discovery throws a lifeline to world’s dying reefs. inoculating coral with microalgae that have been deliberately evolved to tolerate high temperatures, could slow losses caused by mass bleaching events on the great barrier reef and elsewhere. In australia, researchers are pioneering new methods to fortify coral reefs in a warming world. these tiny algae cells have been cultivated for 10 years to withstand hot ocean temperatures.
