OF THE DISSERTATION CHARACTERIZATIONS OF THE MAJOR CORAL DISEASES OF THE PHILIPPINES: ULCERATIVE WHITE SPOT DISEASE AND NOVEL GROWTH ANOMALIES OF PORITES by Longin Kaczmarsky Florida International University, 2009 Miami, Florida Professor Laurie Richardson, Major Professor Coral reefs are in decline worldwide and coral disease is a significant contributing factor. However, etiologies of coral diseases are still not well understood. In contrast with the Caribbean, extremely little is known about coral diseases in the Philippines. In 2005, off Southeast Negros Island, Philippines, I investigated relationships between environmental parameters and prevalence of the two most common coral diseases, ulcerative white spot (UWS) and massive Porites growth anomalies (MPGAs). Samples were collected along a disease prevalence gradient 40.5 km long. Principal component analyses showed prevalence of MPGAs was positively correlated with water column nitrogen, organic carbon of surface sediments, and colony density. UWS was positively correlated with water column phosphorus. This is the first quantitative evidence linking anthropogenically-impacted water and sediment to a higher prevalence
