The framework consists of mostly live corals with a total area of about 10 m<sup>2</sup> and the length of the individual coral branches range from 12 to 30&nbsp;cm. Although <i>E. fistula</i> is ubiquitous, this discovery is the second record of a framework formed by this species and the first discovery of a large living reef in the Red Sea. The results of the genetic study indicate the potential existence of a genetic variation of <i>E. fistula</i> in the Red Sea. This discovery implies that the Red Sea has favorable habitats for framework-forming DWC species and highlights the need for conducting more systematic surveys for understanding their distribution, abundance, and ecology.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Discovery of deep-water coral frameworks in the northern Red Sea waters of Saudi Arabia","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-15 01:33:26.162878","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2020,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-10-02","DateCreate":"2020-10-02","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000573753400012","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-020-72344-5"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":329815,"PubliDate":2020,"Pagination":"8 pp","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"10","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
