Preparing for trials

My fantastic undergraduate research assistants and myself have been busy working to set up the research space within the Oklahoma Aquarium. We are ready to fill tanks and the coral are ready to be fragged and put into the research systems!

About This Project

Fluoroproteins are responsible for bio-fluorescence in nature and are commonly found in coral reefs. Coral reefs with more bio-fluorescence have demonstrated a slower rate of mass coral bleaching. This research will explore the response of corals to common stressors found both in a natural setting and in aquaria by measure of fluorescence emission. The goal is to identify hardier corals to grow in aquaria and seed on wild reef systems as a means of reef restoration.
