The Impacts of Ex Situ Transplantation on the Physiology of the Taiwanese Reef-Building Coral Seriatopora hystrix
Figure 1
Field site and model coral. Corals were collected from two field sites in southern Taiwan, Houbihu (see Figure 1 of [4]) and Houwan (a). Seriatopora hystrix colonies (b) were collected in situ and transported to aquaria (50 l; c) at Taiwan’s National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium (NMMBA). Ten “nubbins” of approximately 2 g were generated from each of 12 such colonies (6 from Houbihu and 6 from Houwan) for use in the experiment [4].
