Toxicity thresholds of nine herbicides to coral symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae)
Abstract Over 30 herbicides have been detected in catchments and waters of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and their toxicity to key tropical species, including the coral endosymbiotic algae Symbiodiniaceae, is not generally considered in current water quality guideline values (WQGVs). Mutualistic symb...
