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

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