Coral Reef Monitoring: From Cytological Parameters to Community Indices
Table 5
Results of the regression between the ecological indices obtained from the young coral communities and the cytological test results of samples from these communities. Correlation tests were conducted between the average values of each of the indices and the cytological tests at each station. In each square, the top figure is and the bottom is the value. Bold figures mark significant correlations (). In the cytological tests, MNT: micronucleus test, SSBs: −log of single strand breakage value, Es a: esterase activity, Sty: Stylophora pistillata and Po: Pocillopora damicornis.
