Effect of distance between coral lesions on coral linear extension from experiments in Moorea, French Polynesia from May, 2013 through May, 2014

Abstract:

Experimental corals were artificially damaged using a waterpik with lesion centroids separated by 1.2cm and 3.5cm, and then dyed with Alizarin S. After 1 year, corals were bisectioned, photographed and linear extension measured using Image J at each polyp’s growth lines.
