High salinity tolerance of the Red Sea coral Fungia granulosa under desalination concentrate discharge conditions: An in situ photophysiology experiment

Seawater reverse osmosis desalination concentrate may have chronic/acute impacts on the marine ecosystems in the near-field area of the discharge. Environmental impact of the desalination plant discharge is supposedly site- and volumetric specific, and also depends on the salinity tolerance of the o...
