贫营养热带沃茨珊瑚礁高生产力的因素仍然没有得到理解1，2。珊瑚的捕食性和共生草食性营养的相对重要性尚不清楚3，其他的进食机制，过滤和渗透营养4，5，还没有得到充分的研究。此外，人们对珊瑚礁生态系统的微生物种群知之甚少。Di Salvo 6指出，珊瑚礁支持丰富和活跃的微生物区系，这些微生物区系在营养再生中繁殖，并作为滤食性动物（包括一些珊瑚）的食物7，但没有关于珊瑚礁上微生物区系的生物量和产量的定量数据。
THE factors responsible for the high productivity of coral reefs in oligotrophic tropical waters are still not understood1,2. The relative importance of the predatory and symbiotically herbivorous nutrition of corals is not clear3, and other feeding mechanisms, filtering and osmotic nutrition4,5, have not been studied sufficiently. Furthermore, very little is known about the microbial population of the reef ecosystems. Di Salvo6 showed that reefs support an abundant and active microflora which Participates in nutrient regeneration and serves as food for filter feeders including some corals7, but there are no quantitative data relating to the biomass and production of microflora on reefs.
