Coral Reef Monitoring: From Cytological Parameters to Community Indices
Figure 2
The results of the cytological test obtained from the two coral species at the fourteen young coral communities study stations. Micronucleus test (frequencies of micronuclei-containing cells, ‰), cells per sampling site. Frequencies of single-stranded DNA breaks (−log Fds), cells per sampling site (samples stained with Acridine orange). Esterase activities (arbitrary units), cells per sampling site. Bars are 95% confidence interval. Stations are Peace Lagoon, southern breakwater (P1); Peace Lagoon, end of southern breakwater (P2); Peace Lagoon, eastern breakwater (P3); Yachts marina, south side of breakwater (Y1); Yachts marina, east side of breakwater (Y2); Naval port (N1); Dekel beach, plain (D1); Dekel beach, slope (D2); Dekel beach, large rocks (D3); Dolphin Reef (E2); Tur Yam (T1); Lighthouse beach, small rocks (L1); Lighthouse beach, large rocks (L3); Lighthouse beach, southern slope (L4).
