✓ Survey and monitoring of Biodiversity at
different trophic levels. From plankton, algae,
up to fish. Study the interaction between the
biotic and abiotic factors
✓ Environmental education to protect those
ecosystems

Coral population genetics and molecular
taxonomy of its dinoflagellate symbionts
Profa. Carla Zilberberg
1. Monitoring of shallow and cold water coral communities
- Genetic diversity and connectivity
- Endemic, highly distributed and alien species
2. Monitoring of the photosynthetically endosymbiont community associated with shallow water corals
- Genetic diversity
- Coral’s health related to the photosynthetically endosymbiont community
- Effect of climate changes on the coral/algae symbiosis
