Effect of Elevated Carbon Dioxide on Two Scleractinian Corals: Porites cylindrica (Dana, 1846) and Galaxea fascicularis (Linnaeus, 1767)
Table 2
Chlorophyll pigments, zooxanthellae cell density, and mitotic index of P. cylindrica and G. fascicularis (mean ± standard deviation) under control and elevated pCO2. Each reading was based on six coral nubbins analysed at the end of the experiment. Pair -test was conducted to compare the parameters under control and elevated pCO2. Bolded figures indicate a significant different and vice versa.
