  28. <meta content="Recruitment of scleractinian corals on settlement
  29. plates at Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, was
  30. examined over four years (September 1991-September
  31. 1995) to quantify spatio-temporal patterns at different
  32. scales and to assess post settlement mortality. Recruitment
  33. was dominated by pocilloporid corals which
  34. accounted for 80.1% of the 8627 spat counted, whereas
  35. non-isoporan acroporids represented only 16.4%.
  36. Poritids, faviids and isoporan acroporids rarely recruited
  37. to the plates (3.5%), despite their obvious abundance
  38. as adults on the reef. Recruitment patterns on the
  39. plates indicate strong space-time interactions as evidenced
  40. by patchy recruitment of both pocilloporid and
  41. acroporid spat. Interactions were found between space
  42. (on the scale of 102 m, i.e. sites within zones, and 101 m,
  43. i.e. racks within sites) and time (on the scale of years) for
  44. pocilloporids and between space (on the scale of 103 m,
  45. i.e. zones, and 102 m) and time (on the scale of years) for
  46. acroporids. Post-recruitment mortality of acroporid
  47. spat in the period 3-10 months after their major spawning
  48. was dependent on their initial recruitment density,
  49. but pocilloporid mortality was either independent of
  50. initial recruitment density or, more likely, obscured by
  51. additional recruitment of pocilloporids to plates between
  52. late February and September. High rates of
  53. recruitment and growth by other sessile organisms,
  54. particularly bryozoans and oysters, appear to result in
  55. increased post-recruitment mortality and limit recruitment
  56. of scleractinian corals on settlement plates. The
  57. work reinforces an emerging picture that coral recruitment
  58. patterns are determined by mechanisms that
  59. manifest over a large range of spatial scales.

  383. plates at Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, was&#13;
  384. examined over four years (September 1991-September&#13;
  385. 1995) to quantify spatio-temporal patterns at different&#13;
  386. scales and to assess post settlement mortality. Recruitment&#13;
  387. was dominated by pocilloporid corals which&#13;
  388. accounted for 80.1% of the 8627 spat counted, whereas&#13;
  389. non-isoporan acroporids represented only 16.4%.&#13;
  390. Poritids, faviids and isoporan acroporids rarely recruited&#13;
  391. to the plates (3.5%), despite their obvious abundance&#13;
  392. as adults on the reef. Recruitment patterns on the&#13;
  393. plates indicate strong space-time interactions as evidenced&#13;
  394. by patchy recruitment of both pocilloporid and&#13;
  395. acroporid spat. Interactions were found between space&#13;
  396. (on the scale of 102 m, i.e. sites within zones, and 101 m,&#13;
  397. i.e. racks within sites) and time (on the scale of years) for&#13;
  398. pocilloporids and between space (on the scale of 103 m,&#13;
  399. i.e. zones, and 102 m) and time (on the scale of years) for&#13;
  400. acroporids. Post-recruitment mortality of acroporid&#13;
  401. spat in the period 3-10 months after their major spawning&#13;
  402. was dependent on their initial recruitment density,&#13;
  403. but pocilloporid mortality was either independent of&#13;
  404. initial recruitment density or, more likely, obscured by&#13;
  405. additional recruitment of pocilloporids to plates between&#13;
  406. late February and September. High rates of&#13;
  407. recruitment and growth by other sessile organisms,&#13;
  408. particularly bryozoans and oysters, appear to result in&#13;
  409. increased post-recruitment mortality and limit recruitment&#13;
  410. of scleractinian corals on settlement plates. The&#13;
  411. work reinforces an emerging picture that coral recruitment&#13;
  412. patterns are determined by mechanisms that&#13;
  413. manifest over a large range of spatial scales.&#13;
