Reef fish become less aggressive after coral bleaching

A research team, including UVM scientist Nate Sanders, found that when water temperatures heat up for corals, fish “tempers” cool down, providing the first clear evidence that coral bleaching can trigger rapid change in the behavior of reef fish.This study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, was covered by a range of global media including UPI (United Press International), Earth, Science Daily, and AZoCleantech.
