Opportunity Information: Apply for FWSPIES5
The grant opportunity titled "Sensitivity of Adult and Early Life Stage Tropical Corals to Metal Toxicity" focuses on understanding how metal pollution affects tropical corals, specifically examining the impacts of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) on adult and early life stages of the coral species Montipora capitata or Pocillopora damicornis. The project, led by Jeff Phillips from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, seeks to address the knowledge gap in metal toxicity for corals, given that current water quality guidelines are based on temperate ecosystems rather than tropical conditions.
The objectives of the study include assessing lethal and sublethal toxicity in adult corals across four seasons, evaluating the sensitivity of early life stages during peak spawning season, and establishing correlations between metal concentrations and seasonal physiological changes. The research will be conducted in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, from January to December 2009, with potential for extension.
Key methodologies involve chronic toxicity tests with various metal concentrations, statistical analyses to compare the response of different coral life stages, and examinations of physiological parameters in coral samples. The study aims to provide guidelines for metal concentrations to support coral reef sustainability, contributing to the broader effort of managing marine resources and refining existing water quality criteria for tropical environments. The final outputs will include detailed reports and scientific publications to disseminate findings, contributing to coral conservation and management efforts.Apply for FWSPIES5
