The corals of the future
A Rosenstiel School research team recently imported dozens of live corals from Tela Bay, Honduras, known for its warm and murky waters, to breed them with Florida corals in an effort to make more resilient offspring.

Previously uncharacterized parasite uncovered in fish worldwide
Using genome reconstruction, scientists unveiled a once “invisible” fish parasite present in many marine fish world-wide that belongs to one of the most important groups of parasites at a clinical level. However, it had gone unnoticed in previous studies. The parasite is geographically and taxonomically widespread in fish species around the planet, with implications for commercial fishing and oceanic food webs.
