Mass mortality of Eunicella sigularis (Anthozoa: Octocorallia) in Chafarinas Islands (North Africa, Western Mediterranean Sea)

Abstract: Records of mortality after a high temperature event in 2014 in the white gorgonian Eunicella singularis were compiled in six different locations around the Chafarinas Islands. Quadrats were used to quantify dead colonies, colonies affected by epibionts and healthy colonies at different dep...

On average, 43% of the colonies of E. singularis were found dead, 21% damaged and 36% healthy.
