The recent severe bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef has also affected anemones, which provide homes for clownfish.

Many pet fish end up in ponds, fountains and waterways. But before ditching your goldfish in the park, stop and think about the viruses you could also be releasing.
Farmed fish have a high rate of a deformity that hampers their hearing, and this can be a problem if they’re released into the wild.
For centuries, the fossil remains of back-boned animals were studied primarily from their hardened bones. Now palaeontologists can study the softer side of these ancient creatures.
The bleaching hitting the Great Barrier Reef not only harms corals. As these close-up photos show, it also deprives many other species of a home and livelihood.
Don’t confuse studies doubting some of the benefits with the bigger picture.
Even the best engineered filters get clogged eventually. Fish mouths have evolved structures that create unique fluid dynamics patterns that solve that problem.
Dave West from the environmental group Boomerang Alliance told Fairfax that if you’ve got an average seafood diet in Australia, you’re probably ingesting about 11,000 plastic pieces a year. Is that right?
New research shows fish are more similar to complex animals like humans and other mammals than we previously thought.
A score of new fish species discovered recently in northern Australia remind us how little we know about our country.
Africa has a number of excellent scuba diving sites, but these must be maintained sustainably to keep attracting different divers.
The US food authority may have approved GM salmon for our consumption, but it may take time before any appear in our stores.
There are no proper laws to combat fisheries crime. As a result, a number of organisations need to join forces to stop the problem.
Much of what we know about these elusive eels’ life cycle has been based on circumstantial evidence. Now for the first time, scientists tracked an adult eel to its distant spawning ground.
A study suggests that stopping deep-sea trawling at a depth of around 600m makes sense.
A small invasive fish known as the topmouth gudgeon has already wreaked havoc on European species and its arrival to the US and South America is only a matter of time.
We know the warming seas are forcing some marine life to new waters, but we don’t know much about how fast and how far they are moving. But now you can help scientists find the answers with Redmap.
The combination of local fishing rights with adjacent marine reserves creates incentives to avoid overfishing and could improve nearshore, small-scale fisheries around the world.
How will climate change affect life in the oceans? New research shows that the answer is likely good and bad.
The Great Southern Reef covers 71,000 square km and contributes more than A$10 billion to Australia’s economy each year.
