Comparison of zooxanthellae characteristics of reef-building corals of Terengganu

A comparative study on the zooxanthellae characteristics of 5 reef-building corals species off Terengganu was carried out from June until September 1999. The results showed that zooxanthellae density and photosynthetic pigment concentration in mg.cm-2 were higher for corals in deeper water compared...
