Open Science Bar 30. januar – Surviving the late night oxygen drops in coral reefs – insights from 6 months in French Polynesia

Andrea Campos Candela and Rachael Louise Morgan, both postdoctoral researchers at the University of Bergen, will share with you their full experience.

Coral reefs produce a lot of oxygen during the day (thanks to photosynthesis), but at night the oxygen levels decrease. Can this threaten fishes at the reef, or do they have strategies to survive? To find out we spent six months of fieldwork and experiments on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia.
