Brief description
Field experiments investigated the effect of acute sedimentation on polyp injury, mortality and bud production, in the mushroom coral Fungia fungites in the Dampier Archipelago. Small (3-5 cm), medium (8-12 cm), and large (15-20 cm) polyps were covered with a layer of sediment in low (2 mm), medium (5 mm) and high (10 mm) treatments, every two days for 20 days.Full description
