  • Fishy Don't Like Sandy Sandwiches…
    Fishy don’t like sandy sandwiches … Reef recovery and the control of algal outbreaks PROJECT NAME: Reef HQ Aquarium provides a rare experimental setup for researchers to investigate the role fish have on reef recovery by grazing algae. PROJECT DATES: June –November 2014. PROJECT LEADER: Professor David Bellwood. James Cook University, Townsville, Australia. PROJECT FOCUS: Coral reefs around the world are degrading. Many reefs exhibit shifts from one state to another with a shift from coral to algal domination been recorded in many coral reef systems. Australian reefs are not immune to such degradation with inner shelf reefs on the Great Barrier Reef and elsewhere, being most at risk due to their proximity to the mainland. Increased sedimentation is one of many factors affecting the health of the reef, and it can cause herbivorous fish to stop grazing on algae, just like we avoid eating sandy sandwiches. These fish play a pivotal role in the maintenance of healthy reef ecosystems as they act as lawnmowers; cropping algal turfs and keeping the algae under control. If this activity is suppressed it can have cascading effects contributing to the degradation of reefs as algae compete with and ultimately overgrow corals. What is the current state of algal turfs and herbivorous activity within the aquarium? By answering this question we will be able to provide insights into the steps that need to be taken to successfully reduce the growth of algae and reverse the current algal expansion within the reef aquarium. Cages are installed in the tank to compare algal growth in the presence of, and in the absence of, herbivorous fishes and sea urchins.

Chapter 26 The Coral Reef Exhibit at Reef HQ Aquarium, Townsville, Australia: Technical operations and water quality SÉVERINE THOMA S 1,3 AND SHELLEY L. AN T HONY 2,3 1 Université Européenne de Bretagne Université de Brest / CNRS, Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer Place Nicolas Copernic, 29280 Plouzane, France [email protected] 2 School of Marine and Tropical Biology, James Cook University Townsville, Queensland 4811, Australia [email protected] 3 Reef HQ Aquarium, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority 2-68 Flinders St.- PO Box 1379, Townsville, Queensland 4810, Australia ABSTRACT Reef HQ Aquarium, previously named the Great Barrier Reef Aquarium, houses the world’s largest living coral reef aquarium system, called the Coral Reef Exhibit (CRE). Over 20 years of CRE operation, water management has evolved significantly to improve the overall health of the tank. This chapter describes the present mode of technical operation of the CRE with a focus on water quality and compares with previous experiences. An increase in coral survival since current methods are in place indicates that a shift from occasional water exchanges using a priori ultra-clean oceanic water to regular exchanges with ‘less pure’ estuarine water has been largely beneficial to the CRE. Reduced mechanical filtration and increased general and localized flow have also contributed to a healthier system, which is very tolerant to large natural variations in some water quality parameters.
