Coral Larval Rearing in Singapore: Observations on Spawning Timing, Larval Development and Settlement of Two Common Scleractinian Coral Species
— Small scale rearing of scleractinian coral larvae for experimental purposes has been practised for decades, but it is only in recent years that large scale larval rearing has been used as a means of providing corals for reef rehabilitation. This study aimed to develop optimal methods for rearing sexually propagated scleractinian corals from the broadcast spawning species Acropora hyacinthus a...
متن کاملLarval dispersal in three coral reef decapod species: Influence of larval duration on the metapopulation structure
Most coral-associated decapod species have non-migratory adult populations and depend on their planktonic larvae for dispersal. This study examined the metapopulation structure of three decapod species with different pelagic larval duration (PLD) from twelve coral reef complexes of the Gulf of Mexico. The dispersion of larvae was analyzed through the use of a realistic numerical simulation of t...
متن کاملInfluence of live coral cover on coral-reef fish communities
The effect of percentage live coral cover on the number of fish species and individuals was determined by censusing fish from a series of reefs of comparable structural complexity, but with different proportions of live coral, in the lagoon of Mataiva Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago. Regression analysis showed that there was a highly significant (p < 0.001) positive relationship between live coral c...
متن کاملEnvironmental controls on modern scleractinian coral and reef-scale calcification
Modern reef-building corals sustain a wide range of ecosystem services because of their ability to build calcium carbonate reef systems. The influence of environmental variables on coral calcification rates has been extensively studied, but our understanding of their relative importance is limited by the absence of in situ observations and the ability to decouple the interactions between differ...
متن کاملThe response of the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis to thermal stress depends on the nitrogen status of the coral holobiont.
The physiological response of the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis to ammonium enrichment (3 μmol l(-1)) was examined at 26°C as well as during a 7 day increase in temperature to 31°C (thermal stress). At 26°C, ammonium supplementation had little effect on the coral physiology. It induced a decrease in symbiont density, compensated by an increase in chlorophyll content per symbiont cel...
