Description 1972-1976
Present study consists the
survey conducted on the several patterns of diseases in corals from Burmanallah coast of the Andaman Islands. It was
observed that Porites sp. were found
to be highly sensitive to coral diseases, as they were found with yellow spot
disease, pink line syndrome, white line syndrome, white plague and black band diseases. Ring line syndrome was observed
only in Acropora humilis and Acropora monticulosa, while abnormal
growths were observed in both Acropora humilis
and Porites sp. Beside these diseases, bleaching was commonly found in Porites sp. probably due to increase of
temperature during the summer season and also may be due to change of salinity
attributed to heavy rainfall during both the monsoons. Other factors that were
found to cause inhibition of coral growth were sediment deposition, algal mat
covers and presence of different bioeroders.
