| DELVOYE, L., 1992. Endolithic algae in living stony corals: Algal concentrations under influence of depth-dependent light conditions and coral tissue fluorescence in Agaricia agaricites (L) and Meandrina meandrites (L.) (Sclereactinia, Anthozoa). Studies Nat. Hist. Caribbean Region 71, Amsterdam 1992: 24-41. The relation between Scleractinians and their endolithic algae was studied in the depth range of 10 to 35 m in Curaçao. Endolithic algal concentrations are found in the skeleton under the living tissue of stony corals and never in dead parts or in coral rubble. The influences of depth-dependent light conditions and coral tissue fluorescence on endolithic algal concentrations were studied in a non-fluorescent and a fluorescent form of both Agaricia... |
