Researchers have found that reef fish from the Arabian Gulf, the world's hottest sea, exhibit a higher tolerance to temperature fluctuations compared to those from more thermally stable coral reefs.

Coral reefs are in big trouble ... up after itself has devastated a huge amount of reef coverage, which also happens to be the habitat of many fish and other aquatic animals.

"While some coral reef fish in the Arabian Gulf show slight adaptability to increasing temperatures, many do not," added Burt, who is also the co-principal investigator at the Mubadala ACCESS Center.

Researchers combine acoustic monitoring with a neural network to identify fish activity on coral reefs by sound. They trained the network to sort through the deluge of acoustic data automatically ...
