“…Symbiodinium are colloquially known as zooxanthellae. Due to the complex beneficial interactions among coral hosts, unicellular algae and dinoflagellates Symbiodinium spp., and their different microbiomes, coral reefs flourish in oligotrophic tropical waters [14]. Coral beneficial interaction with Symbiodinium algae permits the coral to harness power from daylight (photosynthesis), as fixed natural carbon is moved to the host while the algae obtain inorganic supplements reprocessed from the host's metabolism, for example ammonium and carbon dioxide [15].…”

“…Coral beneficial interaction with Symbiodinium algae permits the coral to harness power from daylight (photosynthesis), as fixed natural carbon is moved to the host while the algae obtain inorganic supplements reprocessed from the host's metabolism, for example ammonium and carbon dioxide [15]. These resources supply the coral with vitality for growth, reproduction and respiration [14]. Zooxanthellae conducts photosynthesis from sunlight as it captures and transfers 95% of the energy generated to the coral polyps.…”

“…This relationship between zooxanthellae and corals supports both the reef and the zooxanthellae, sustained itself by nutrients such as inorganic substances and acquiring refuge in exchange. Global climate change can also stress the coral, collapsing the symbioses, which leads to bleaching (paling) or loss of zooxanthellae [14].…”

Coral reefs are among the most biodiverse biological systems on earth. Corals are classified as marine invertebrates and filter the surrounding food and other particles in seawater, including pathogens such as viruses. Viruses act as both pathogen and symbiont for metazoans. Marine viruses that are abundant in the ocean are mostly single-, double stranded DNA and single-, double stranded RNA viruses. These discoveries were made via advanced identification methods which have detected their presence in coral reef ecosystems including PCR analyses, metagenomic analyses, transcriptomic analyses and electron microscopy. This review discusses the discovery of viruses in the marine environment and their hosts, viral diversity in corals, presence of virus in corallivorous fish communities in reef ecosystems, detection methods, and occurrence of marine viral communities in marine sponges.

A healthy coral reef ecosystem can be beneficial for the survival of fish habitats and aquatic ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the influence of human activities on the spatial distribution of coral reefs in the coastal waters of Samatellu Lompo Island, Pangkajene Islands Regency, South Sulawesi in 2000, 2014, 2018, and 2021. The spatial distribution of coral reefs was obtained through a field survey using the underwater transect photo method. Then, satellite images were processed by using the Lyzenga algorithm for water column correction, and aquatic objects were classified by using unsupervised classification. Human activities that affect coral reef destruction were obtained through interviews and it was strengthened with related literature studies. The results showed that the coral reefs in the coastal waters of Samatellu Lompo decreased from 2000-2021. In 2000, the live coral area was 13.53 ha, whereas in 2021 it was 8,031 ha. Destructive fishing activities such as using bombs and poison in catching fish are the main factors of coral reef destruction. In addition, destructive fishing activities commonly occur in the western and northern waters of Samatellu Lompo that causing the live coral into dead coral or rubble.
