Purpose
|
Conduct experiments on the impacts of nuisance macroalgae and cyanobacteria on
coral recruitment.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Timing, species, and fecundity of broadcast spawning coral species. Herbivory
rates by fishes on nuisance algae and cyanobacteria common in Virgin Islands
National Park.
|
|
|
Summary
|
Timing of spawning documented on Tektite Reef, St. John for Montastraea
annularis and M. faveolata. Development of fertilized gametes into ciliated
larvae documented for these species.
