商品描述

The Brazilian coral reefs form structures significantly different from the well-known reef models, as follows: they have a growth form of mushroom-shaped coral pinnacles called "chapeirões"; they are built by a low diversity coral fauna rich in endemic species, with most of them relic forms dating back to the Tertiary; and the nearshore bank reefs are surrounded by siliciclastic sediments. The reefs are distributed into four major sectors along the Brazilian coast: the northern, the northeastern, and the eastern regions, and the oceanic islands, but certain isolated coral species can be found in warmer waters in the embayment of the southern region. There are different types of bank reefs, fringing reefs, isolated "chapeirões" and an atoll present along the Brazilian coast. Corals, milleporids, and coralline algae build the rigid frame of the reefs. The areas in which the major coral reefs occur correspond to regions in which nearby urban centers are experiencing accelerated growth, and tourism development is rapidly increasing. The major human effects on the reef ecosystem are mostly associated with the increased sedimentation due to the removal of the Atlantic rainforest and the disposal of industrial and urban effluents. Fishing resources are seriously declining due to pollution and overfishing, and this reduction impacts artisanal fishers, who are impoverished and face food security risks. The effects of warming oceanic waters that have been affecting several reef areas with high-intensity coral bleaching did not show until the 2010 event, episodes of coral mass mortality in Brazilian reefs. However, since 2016, bleaching has increased, as has the mortality of milleporids. There are opportunities to develop purposeful biotechnologies that can support coral reef restoration and conservation. Reciprocally, preserved coral reef ecosystems containing peculiar genetic resources allow biotechnological opportunities to provide products and processes for economically and ecologically prosperous societies.

巴西的珊瑚礁形成的結構與眾所周知的礁模型有顯著不同，具體如下：它們具有稱為「chapeirões」的蘑菇形珊瑚尖峰的生長形態；由低多樣性的珊瑚群落組成，富含地方性物種，其中大多數是追溯至第三紀的遺留形式；近岸的礁石周圍被矽質碎屑沉積物包圍。這些礁石沿著巴西海岸分布為四個主要區域：北部、東北部、東部地區以及海洋島嶼，但在南部地區的海灣中可以找到某些孤立的珊瑚物種。巴西海岸上存在不同類型的礁石，包括銀行礁、邊緣礁、孤立的「chapeirões」和一個環礁。珊瑚、千層藻和珊瑚藻構成了礁石的堅固框架。主要珊瑚礁出現的區域對應於附近城市中心正在經歷加速增長的地區，旅遊業的發展也在迅速增加。對礁生態系統的主要人類影響主要與大西洋雨林的砍伐和工業及城市廢水的排放導致的沉積物增加有關。由於污染和過度捕撈，漁業資源正在嚴重下降，這一減少影響了以小規模捕魚為生的漁民，使他們陷入貧困並面臨食品安全風險。影響多個礁區的海洋水溫上升所造成的高強度珊瑚白化的影響直到2010年事件中才顯現出來，當時巴西的珊瑚出現大規模死亡事件。然而，自2016年以來，白化現象和千層藻的死亡率均有所增加。發展有目的的生物技術以支持珊瑚礁的修復和保護存在機會。相互而言，保存的珊瑚礁生態系統包含獨特的遺傳資源，為經濟和生態繁榮的社會提供生物技術機會，以提供產品和過程。

作者簡介

RUY KENJI PAPA KIKUCHI - BSc in Geology at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) and doctorate at Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), where he is currently a Full Professor. His primary interest is Coral Reef Geology and Ecology. He started to investigate Holocene reef growth during his Masters at Rocas Atoll and started to investigate reef ecology during his PhD. At the moment, he is developing reef assessment and monitoring, evaluating climate/oceanographic proxies within the coral skeletons, and using corals as sea-level indicators. He develops experimental, field, and lab projects, including the effects of acidification on coral growth and carbonate sedimentation. He is one of the PIs of the National Institute of Science and Technology for the Research of the Tropical Marine Environment (INCT AmbTropic) a network of institutions of the Tropical Brazilian region funded by the National Counsel for the Development of Science and Technology of Brazil (CNPq), coordinating the Reef Environment Working Group. This project is also dedicated to studying the impact of ocean acidification on reef-building organisms. The Tropical South Atlantic has been his study area.

She is associated to several national and international Scientific Societies, including: the Brazilian Society of Geology (SBG), Brazilian Society for the Study of Coral Reefs (CORALLUS), International Society for Reef Studies (ISRS), Brazilian Society of Oceanography. Representative of Brazil in the Tropical South America Coral Reef Program of the GCRMN, Member of the Brazilian Committee of SCOR (2006-2008) and is a former Member of the Ocean Science Committee of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) of Brazil. She teaches at the postgraduate course in Geology at UFBA since 1980, a visiting professor at the postgraduate course in Environmental Sciences from the University of Santa Ursula, Rio de Janeiro. Her main area of interest is the Geology of the reef areas: the natural processes involved and the environmental problems caused by natural process and the anthropogenic activity.

MARIA ELISABETH DE ARAUJO - Full Professor at the Department of Oceanography at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). Biologist, master in zoology and doctorate in genetics (UFRJ, 1997), worked with fishing and rural extension (SUDENE, 1982-1995), coordinated the Tropical Marine Ichthyology Group (IMAT/CNPq) and taught at the Department of Fisheries Engineering (UFC, 1995-2002). She trained more than 150 students (bachelor's and post-doctorate) and produced 80 scientific articles, three books, and 18 chapters. As a retired professor (2020), she seeks to apply her academic experience to provoke a more humanized interaction between people who experience ecological knowledge (scientific and popular) and desire nature conservation, including traditional communities.
