Gametogenesis, Embryogenesis, and Fertilization Ecology of Platygyra acuta in Marginal Nonreefal Coral Communities in Hong Kong
Figure 6
Mean ± SD () percent (%) fertilization success of the coral Platygyra acuta gametes mixed at different times after spawning to examine the effect of ageing. Eggs and sperm were of the same age at the time of mixing. Experiment was conducted on (a) Day 1, June 10, 2012, and (b) Day 2, June 11, 2012. Data indicated with the same letter showed no significant difference in % fertilization as determined by Tukey’s HSD post hoc test. The background controls in Day 1 and Day 2 were % and %, respectively.
