摘要: The Hawaiian reef coral Pocillopora meandrina Dana is restricted to turbulent environments. P. damicornis (L.) most abundant on semi-protected reefs, while Montipora verrucosa (Lamarck) characteristic of very calm These species were grown in the laboratory under various conditions water motion. Water motion influenced growth, mortality, and reproductive rate, each differently. differences may be attributed morphological adaptations corals their normal hydrodynamic environment. appears influence by controlling rate exchange material across interface between sea tissue.
