A method previously used to measure thickness of the surface mucus layer (SML) of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract has
been applied to the SML of reef corals. It involves manual measurement of mucus thickness using a micromanipulator and fine
glass needle (micropipette) and is non-destructive to the coral, meaning that repeated measurements can be taken. A measurable
mucus layer was recorded in all cases in the study, which comprised 450 individual thickness measurements from four coral
species. Mucus thickness ranged from 145 to 700 μm. Thus, whatever dynamic processes control mucus synthesis, secretion to
the tissue surface and subsequent release into the water column, a continuous mucosal barrier is maintained. A change in SML
thickness was recorded as a response to aerial exposure during the natural tidal cycle and to solar exposure-induced bleaching,
although the response due to bleaching varied between two studied species. The technique is rapid, cost-effective and a simple
means of assessing coral SML thickness, a variable that shows significant variation in relation to environmental conditions
and is likely to be an important health indicator in these organisms. 相似文献
