As oceans continue to warm and corals continue to bleach, fish communities in Australia's Great Barrier Reef are losing their colour, a new study tells.
The study, which is published in Global Change Biology, monitored changes in the fish community colouration and the environment they live in.
The relationship between the colouration of the fish communities and the environment is likely to be impacted by global environmental change. The researchers have found potential links between corals and fish that are losing their natural colour.
