Relationship between adult abundance and successive coral recruitment density in the Tioman Island Marine Park, Malaysia

It is important to understand coral recruitment as coral reefs are regionally in decline. The pattern and magnitude of coral recruitment strongly influence conservation options and management efforts. This study revealed a relationship between adult abundance and coral recruitment patterns at fou...
