Reproduction and recruitment processes of scleractinian coral species
Since 2001, I have been investigating the maintenance mechanisms of a high-latitude coral community in southern Amakusa (south-western Japan), about 70 km away from the AMBL. My investigation is focused on the following three aspects: (1) Mortality and growth rates of species with different colony-sizes, (2) competition for space among resident scleractinian coral species, with regard to three factors (species identity, species abundance and colony size) and (3) reproductrion and recruitment states of the high-latitude coral community of southern Amakusa.
