珊瑚的

In addition to improving the coral livability, sometimes intermediate disturbance is necessary.

国际上通用的生态修复策略主要是根据珊瑚的两种繁殖方式进行的，此外再配合人为的适度干扰，增加珊瑚的成活率。

Soft Corals and Madrepore or Hard Corals are close relatives really: without wishing to upset biologists, we could say that whilst the Hard Coral has learn to fix the calcium carbonate through its polyps in order to build its home and skeleton, the Soft Coral polyps have built a soft and supple skeleton which manages to feed by filling with water.

当硬珊瑚们通过水螅体利用碳酸钙来建造它们的家园和骨骼时，软珊瑚的水螅体选择建造了柔软的骨骼通过装满水来补给养分。

This study shows that symbiont diversity in corals with maternal zooxanthella transmission is not necessarily lower compared to that in corals that acquire their algal symbionts from the environment every generation.

本研究表明通过母系遗传获取共生藻的珊瑚共生多样性并不需要一定比从环境中获取共生藻珊瑚的共生多样性低。

Biologists also fear what might happen to corals, which despite their plantlike appearance are actually colonies of small animals related to sea anemones.

生物学家也担心珊瑚会受到影响。珊瑚的外表看来像植物，其实牠是小动物群体，跟海葵有近亲关系。

Our data show that growth and calcification of massive Porites in the Great Barrier Reef are already declining and are doing so at a rate unprecedented in coral records reaching back 400 years," the researchers wrote."

我们的数据显示，大堡礁滨珊瑚的生长及石灰化进程早已经开始减缓，其减缓速度在这四百年的珊瑚记录中是空前的。

Slight changes in water temperature or salinity can damage the mutually beneficial relationship between coral and the algae—called zooxanthellae—that live in their tissues.

水温或盐度的些许变化，也可能损害珊瑚和一种藻类（黄藻，生存在珊瑚的组织中间）之间互利的关系。

意译：珊瑚的图片集。珊瑚和海葵是相似的家庭刺一样的无脊椎动物。

Coral 珊瑚 Coral is a stone like mate rial formed in the sea by the bones of very small sea animals.

珊瑚是海上小动物骨骼在海中形成的类似石头的物质。

Shallow-water corals owe their beautiful colors in part to symbiotic algae, which live inside the coral cells.

浅水珊瑚的美丽色彩，部份是来自生存于珊瑚细胞内的共生藻。

Dr Silverman's team studied the bolism of a northern Red Sea coral reef to assess its sensitivity to environmental conditions.

西尔弗曼博士的团队为了评估珊瑚对环境条件的敏感度，研究了红海北部珊瑚的新陈代谢。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
