Abstract
Abstract: During the study period preliminary survey on coral diseases was conducted at 11 reef sites in Marine National Park, Gulf of Kachchh. The Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method was employed to quantify the occurrence of coral diseases. The surveyed reefs showed 5 categories of diseases, i.e., White Plague (WP); Pink Spot (PS); Ulcerative White Spots (UWS); Yellow Spot (YS) and Black Band (BB). The highest incidence of infected corals was recorded in Narara reef as compared to other reefs. The White Plague (WP) was the most prevalent syndrome occurred; whereas the other categories were less prevalent in the Maine National Park, Gulf of Kachchh.
