Summary

Researchers compiled an open-access database of toxicity thresholds for chemical pollutants tested on tropical reef-building corals, aiming to help environmental managers assess ecological risk from pollution. The review notes that effective concentration data are missing from more than half of studies, and that findings need broader replication across understudied coral species and regions.

This open-access database of known ecotoxicological effects of chemical exposures on corals can assist managers in the ecological risk assessment of chemicals, by allowing easy determination of various ecotoxicological thresholds. Several limitations of the toxicity tests synthesised here were noted (in particular the lack of measurement of effective concentrations for more than half of the studies). Overall, most of the currently available data on coral toxicity should be replicated independently and extended to corals from less studied geographical regions and functional groups.
