ABSTRACTA massive central Australian dust storm in September 2009 was associated with abundant fungal spores (150,000/m3) and hyphae in coastal waters between Brisbane (27°S) and Sydney (34°S). These spores were successfully germinated from formalin-preserved samples, and using molecular sequencing of three different genes (the large subunit rRNA gene [LSU], internal transcribed spacer [ITS[, and beta-tubulin gene), they were conclusively identified asAspergillus sydowii, an organism circumstantially associated with gorgonian coral fan disease in the Caribbean. Surprisingly, no human health or marine ecosystem impacts were associated with this Australian dust storm event. Australian fungal cultures were nontoxic to fish gills and caused a minor reduction in the motility ofAlexandriumorChattonellaalgal cultures but had their greatest impacts onSymbiodiniumdinoflagellate coral symbiont motility, with hyphae being more detrimental than spores. While we have not yet seen any soft coral disease outbreaks on the Australian Great Barrier Reef similar to those observed in the Caribbean and while this particular fungal population was non- or weakly pathogenic, our observations raise the possibility of future marine ecosystem pathogen impacts from similar dust storms harboring more pathogenic strains.

En los años 2001 y 2005, se estudió la composición de las comunidades de octocorales y corales pétreos en el archipiélago de los Jardines de la Reina. Se analizó, en la comunidad de corales pétreos, la incidencia del blanqueamiento ocurrido en el 2005 en el Caribe. Para ello se establecieron doce estaciones de muestreo (siete en el arrecife frontal somero y cinco en el arrecife de cresta), en cada una de estas se estimó la densidad mediante el marco cuadrado de 1 m de lado. En el arrecife frontal somero se identificaron un total de 62 especies (26 de octocorales y 36 de corales), siendo las más abundantes: Pseudopterogorgia americana (2.4 colonias/m2), Eunicea flexuosa (1.1 colonias/m2), Siderastrea siderea (5.0 colonias/m2) y Agaricia agaricites (4.0 colonias/m2). En el arrecife de cresta se identificaron un total de 31 especies (13 de octocorales y 18 de corales), predominando: Briareum asbestinum (1.3 colonias/m2), Porites astreoides (2.5 colonias/m2) y Millepora complanata (1.0 colonias/m2). Las especies más sensibles al blanqueamiento fueron: A. agaricites , Millepora spp. y Montastraea annularis. En sentido general, dicho suceso tuvo una incidencia pobre sobre los corales pétreos. Es menester la ejecución de monitoreos al permitir ajustar los planes de manejo en función de los cambios que puedan ocurrir en la estructura de las comunidades bentónicas.ABSTRACT Octocoral and stony coral communities in the Jardines de la Reina archipelago (Cuba) were studied in 2001 and again in 2005. The incidence of the 2005 bleaching event in the Caribbean was analyzed in the stony coral community. Twelve sampling stations were established: seven in the shallow forereef and five in reef crests, with one square meter quadrants to estimate density. A total of 62 species (26 octocorals and 36 stony corals) were identified in the shallow forereef, including Pseudopterogorgia americana (2.4 colonies/m2), Eunicea flexuosa (1.1 colonies/m2), Siderastrea siderea (5.0 colonies/m2) and Agaricia agaricites (4.0 colonies/m2). In the reef crest, 31 species were identified (13 octocorals and 18 stony corals), with Briareum asbestinum (1.3 colonies/m2), Porites astreoides (2.5 colonies/m2) and Millepora complanata (1.0 colonies/m2) being the most abundant. The most sensitive species to bleaching were: A. agaricites, Millepora spp. and Montastraea annulariS. In general, this event showed a poor incidence with stony corals. Constant monitoring is necessary to adjust the management plan to the changes that may occur in the structure of the benthic communities.
