Georgia Tech Postdoctoral Fellow Danielle Dixson measures the health of coral using pulse-amplitude-modulated (PAM) fluorometry that measures photosynthesis activity.
The mutualistic fish Gobidon histrio is shown on the coral Acropora nausuta. The coral is in contact with the allelopathic green alga Chlorodesmis fastigiata.
Green alga that had been touching coral is pulled away to show the bleaching that has occurred as a result of the contact, which had been created by Georgia Tech scientists.
