| Research Abstract |
Coral reefs are thought to be oligotrophic system in the past. However, recent studies indicate the prominent environmental changes due to land/coastal development and overuse. Especially the ecological degradation due to local level eutrophication has been suggested from the field-based ecological studies. In this study, nutrient conditions in actual coral reef environment are measured in the field. In order to utilize the coral health conditions as bio-indicator, nutrient impacts on coral-algal metabolism has been explored under various conditions.
