Research Abstract |
We were able to completely achieve one goal focused on diversity. Similarly, the field (in situ) goal to more clearly understand palytoxin distribution was reached, with new information and data. Monitoring results are still being analyzed, and it may be Palythoa spp. can be used as an indicator species to monitor the health of coral reef organisms. In the course of this study, two new genera and seven species of Zoantharia were described, including the deepest in the world.
