red sea coral reef
background info
Coral reefs are important for many reasons. Most importantly, they provide protection and shelter for many different species of fish. Without coral reefs, these fish are left homeless with no where to live and no where to have their babies. The important thing about the red sea coral reef is that it is the biggest "non-ocean" but inlet reef. In the coral reef there are many organisms with a niche that helps keep the reef and other organisms alive. For example, a surgeon fish eats seaweed "like algae" from taking over the reef. It keeps the reef and other organisms healthy.Coral reef fishes , are known as vertebrate animals.Some of the major families are arranged off of coral reef fishes by feeding strategy, 4 major groups are herbivores, planktivores,benthic carnivores, and piscivores.Herbivores, like surgeon fish and parrotfish, keep seaweed like algae from taking over the coral reef.Over one billion people around the world rely on reef fish as a source of food an income.
Surgeon fish make sure to keep the coral reefs safe from algae while also kepping other organisms safe.Polluting water, fishermen fishing and urbanization are all the major ways that the fish of the Red Sea Coral Reefs population lessens.
