Very good information! Thanks for posting them.
What needs to be pointed out though reef ecosystems work very differently. With sharks making up 50% to 80% of the fish biomass the trophic pyramid is inverted. And with corals and their holobiont animals are playing the role of autotrophs and are competing with algae for nutrients.
