[Coral-List] suctioning off black band disease

Hi Julian - thank you for your comments. I'm copying the list since others are interested in this approach too. So, here is the history:

In about 1990 Harold Hudson, a biologist for the Florida Keys Sanctuary, invented an apparatus to suction off black band disease from infected corals. It consisted of a large tube (about 4 cm diameter) attached to a small (1 cm diameter suction tube) with a valve connected to a scuba tank.  The pressurized air going from the small to large tube created suction that could then suck up the (loosely attached) black band material, which then moved up the large tube to the surface (boat) where it went into a large container, and disposed of on land.  This is important since Harold knew that any floating pieces of black band mat that landed on another coral would cause a new infection. I don't know if the methods was ever published.

Well, the method worked and cured BBD infected corals.  It was important to 'dig' into the infected tissue to get any cyanobacterial filaments out, then to patch the lesion with modeling clay.  In fact, it worked so well that Dean Schweinler, an environmentalist/dive boat captain who knew Harold, coordinated a Florida Keys-wide effort of dive operators to network about BBD outbreaks, and the apparatus was moved up and down the Keys - and the outbreak was contained.  It was so successful that I asked if a 3 inch wide black band at one of my study sites could remain so I could study the microbiology of the disease.

Anyway, I modified the suction approach and found that using 60 ml syringes (needleless) works just as well.  You have to suction the band into the syringe, which disperses it, then watch and wait until the band forms a clump in the syringe (less that minute) and then carefully extrude the clump into a large plastic baggy, making sure the material doesn't get loose in the water column (and closing the baggy).  Then, again, patch with modeling clay.

This technique really works and we saved many corals by stopping the disease. It's also important to go back a few days after and check the colony, because sometimes the band is deep in the tissue and moves under the clay, reappearing as a new infection, at which point you just suction off that last bit and repatch.

This works for black band disease, which is a loosely attached mat on the coral surface and usually outbreaks are manageable in that there are not 100s (or thousands) of infected colonies.  I have not tried it on the other coral diseases which usually manifest as a sharp line between apparently healthy tissue and exposed skeleton, such as white syndromes (which can affect thousands of coral hosts in a population, such as is occurring right now on reefs off of Miami) or white band (the host acroporids are protected against destructive sampling).  

Anyway, I don't know what diseases you have on your reefs but I think the syringe suctioning method is worth a try.  If the disease is not mat forming, try keeping the entire contents inside multiple syringes and empty them onshore.  Also, be sure to sterilize the syringes between efforts. 

I would be really interested to see if you try this and could tell us if it works.  And of course, you would have to monitor (!) the treated colonies to see if they are cured.  A good reason to monitor !  Good luck and best regards ~   Laurie

Hi Laurie

Speaking as a monitoring organisation, I can only strongly support what you
say!!

But actually, I am writing about the other topic in your email - the
suggested "vacuuming" of coral disease off coral colonies. Not something I
have heard of previously. We are seeing increasing amounts of disease here,
albeit from a very small base. But we don't know what to do - it's one of
those situations where intervention is possibly worse than cure if removing
the colony leads to a disturbance in the diseased area, leading to the
release of spores, cells, etc into the water column to infect other
colonies.

So your "suctioning off the band" sounds really intriguing. Is there any
literature on this, or a methodology written up? It sounds incredibly
sensible to me, so I would like to find out more.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi all - A big problem is not following up on coral monitoring.  As you
know, Mark, I found a black band disease hot spot between the Hilton and
Carmabi when we sampled during the meeting, and twice I have offered to come
down (at my expense and bring a grad student) and cure the corals by
suctioning off the band (this works - I know from experience) and you have
not even answered me.  There are dozens of small to midsized Diploria and
Pseudodiploria there, and this contagious disease will wipe out this new
population.  Besides the BBD infected colonies everything looked really
healthy.


Yes, we need to monitor, but if it is possible (as with BBD) to make a
difference we should actively try to help the reefs and individual corals
recover.  Laurie

Dear Caribbean Marine Science Collaborators,

As you probably know, the Global Coral Reef Monitoring
Network<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.car-2Dspaw-2Drac.org_-3FThe-2DGCRMN-2DCaribbean-2C637&d=AwIFAw&c=1QsCMERiq7JOmEnKpsSyjg&r=ZAOBwXrJEqegsrfq9GHYbg&m=03irYmJObeUaBWoUbKm_iqk_4L-mPrgDF8mGUSuDNRc&s=aCsRiVu_hda3qSJ91UuzxWfQO8DhTmITJuJNEf5MuGY&e= > has freshened
up in the Caribbean region. For the past year or so, we have been growing as
a dynamic network of coral reef experts sharing the goal of improving the
monitoring of the coral reefs of the Caribbean.

There are a few key areas where we would like your input. We need your help
to make an assessment of the coral reef monitoring conducted (or not!) in
the region. We hope to reach as many nooks and corners of the region as
possible, all islands and places where people survey their reefs. This is
also the chance to assess what would be needed to improve the monitoring
situation, from a technical, capacity-building and financial point of view,
and that will help our fundraising efforts!

Please send us your answers to the 6 questions below by October 5th, by
writing back to Julie

  1.  Do you have a monitoring program that is not included in the GCRMN
report on 'Status and trand of  Caribbean Coral reefs'? If so, please let us
know so we can add to our list.

  2.  Are you interested in starting or increasing the strength of a
monitoring program if you received some practical and financial help to
initiate a long term biennial sampling effort?
  3.  If so, please briefly let us know your specific needs (e.g., training,
equipment, etc.) and the minimum number of sites to be monitored on your
territory, for a representative sampling.
  4.  Wether an existing or potential new monitoring program, would you be
willing to use the  GCRMN-caribbean
guidelines<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.car-2Dspaw-2Drac.org_-3FThe-2DGCRMN-2DCaribbean-2Dguidelines-2C639&d=AwIFAw&c=1QsCMERiq7JOmEnKpsSyjg&r=ZAOBwXrJEqegsrfq9GHYbg&m=03irYmJObeUaBWoUbKm_iqk_4L-mPrgDF8mGUSuDNRc&s=jA5tLMWcUyHW6bV2Ty78pnba5WoyltczTeh_0Xeiucw&e= >
(see draft, currently in review) so that we can all compare data between our
locations and together build a clearer picture of what's happening in the
region?
  5.  Would you be able  to team up with partners locally or nationally to
survey the minimum number of sites?
  6.  If a database was built to house this data (e.g., see draft RFP
attached), would you/your organization use it (the system would not require
you to re enter your data)?

Si vous souhaitez suivre et participer à nos conversations, afin de prendre
part dans notre effort régional, nous serions ravis que vous rejoigniez
notre forum GCRMN-Caraibe. Envoyez une requête en ce sens à Julie Belmont

Si vous avez des commentaires sur les méthodes de suivi proposées par le
GCRMN-Caraibe, cela nous sera très utile! S'il vous plaît envoyez-les à
