Environmental Factors in Coral Bleaching: The 1997/8 El Nino in Kenya.

Show other versions (4)

Elevated sea water temperature in March and April 1998 caused by the El Nino Southern oscillation caused mass coral bleaching along the Kenyan coast. Over 90% bleaching and mortality was recorded in the region. Chlorophyll-a concentration ranged between 0.002-0.284 mg/cm super(2) for bleached corals and 0.176-0.795mg/cm super(2) for normal corals. Zooxanthellae density ranged between 0.7x10 super(6)-5xl0 super(6) per cm super(2) for normal corals and 0.02x10 super(6)-0.2x10 super(6) per cm super(2) for bleached coral (total loss of zooxanthellae and pigment was recorded in a few coral fragments).
