The effect of damage on the growth, reproduction and storage of lipids in the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis (Linnaeus)

Created 25/06/2017

A population of the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis (Linnaeus) was examined at Rottnest Island, off the Western Australian coast. This is a temperate zone and an area under considerable tourist pressure. Experiments were conducted at Little Salmon Bay and Mary Cove to investigate the effect of mechanical damage on the growth, reproduction and storage of lipid to see whether patterns of energy allocation were affected. These parameters were measured simultaneously 14 times over 13 months from July 1988 to September 1989.
