in a reef off the coast of a large island, an increase in net fishing lowers the populations of most reef fish (including stoplight parrotfish, queen angelfish, yellowtail snappers, and Nassau groupers).

Coral cover will increase.
Sponge cover will increase.
Algae cover will increase.
Coral, sponge, and algae cover will remain the same.

Two reefs are exposed to the black band disease pathogen. Reef A is located in a remote area off a rocky coast that receives little rainfall. Reef B is located near a resort hotel, a heavily fertilized golf course, and a forest that has been recently clearcut for a housing development. Both reefs are dominated by star corals. What is the most likely outcome of the disease on each reef?
Reef A will suffer greater damage than reef B
Reef b will suffer greater damage than reef A.
Both reefs will suffer equal damage from the disease.
Neither reef will be affected because black band disease affects only branching corals.
