[Coral-List] Inquiry: Remote sensing detection of zooxanthallae

[Andrew Lewin]

Greetings Coral-listers,

In general terms, would it be possible to detect, via reflectance, 
zooxanthallae on a coral reef?  Additionally, would it be possible to 
identify distinct zooxanthallae species via different reflantance 
properties?

Thank you for your time,

Andrew Lewin, M.Sc.
