Influence of currents to temporal variation of brooder spawner corals recruitment density in Bidong Island, Malaysia

Temporal variation of scleractinian coral recruitment density was examined at 3 sam-pling stations around Bidong Island, Malaysia in relation to currents speed in 2014. Although almost all corals were brooder spawners (Pocillopora, Stylopora and Seria-topora), the relationship between recruitment de...
