Full description

An annotated checklist of the hermatypic corals of the Philippines was produced using a combination of field studies and re-evaluations of major taxonomic collections in Philippines Universities.Field work was carried out in 1986 and 1988 at five primary study sites; Bolinao, Luzon Island; Puerto Galera, Mindoro Island; El Nido (Bacuit Bay), Palawan Island; Mactan Island and Danajon Bank, off Cebu Island; and Apo Island, off Negros Island. Reference collections made as part of this study were deposited at the Bolinao Marine Station and the Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines. Additional specimens were sent to the Australian Institute of Marine Science for further study.
The purpose of this study was to produce a comprehensive checklist of the hermatypic corals of the Philippines, which would provide a basis for comparisons between the hermatypic corals of the Philippines and those of other Indo-Pacific regions.
