Rafting of reef corals and other organisms at Kwajalein Atoll

Marine Biology, 1989
Studies conducted at Kwajalein Atoll (9°N; 168°E) in early 1988 reveal that marine organisms are commonly rafted into the area on drift pumice, drift wood and other flotsam. Coralskeletons on pumice provide the most useful quantitative data because they persist after rafted motile organisms have departed and rafted sessile forms have decomposed or been

Sample design for quantitative estimation of sedentary organisms of coral reefs

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1974
Various methods of sampling sedentary organisms on Australian coral reefs have been examined and a standardized photographic procedure has been suggested to suit the needs of an ecological study of Acanthaster planci and Linckia laevigata. To obtain reliable estimates of percentage cover of sedentary organisms and their spatial distribution metre ...

Observations on particulate and dissolved organic matter in coral reef areas

Internationale Revue der gesamten Hydrobiologie und Hydrographie, 1975
AbstractData are presented on the particulate and dissolved organic carbon at Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific and of particulate organic carbon at South Caicos in the Caribbean. Some data from other locales are included for comparison. Proportionate increases are greater for the particulate matter released from off reefs than for the dissolved; in fact ...

Gene Flow in Coral Reef Organisms of the Tropical Eastern Pacific

2016
Gene flow can provide cohesion between conspecific populations. In order to obtain an indirect measure of gene flow between coral reef species in the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) and between these populations and those of the rest of the Pacific we compiled available data from sequences of DNA and microsatellites for corals, gastropods, echinoderms ...

Cruise ships: A serious threat to coral reefs and associated organisms

Ocean and Shoreline Management, 1988
Abstract Qualitative and quantitative observations were made under cruise ships anchored over disturbed and undisturbed sections of reef off Grand Cayman Island, West Indies. Measurements showed 3150 m2 of previously intact reef destroyed by one cruise ship anchoring on one day.
