The effect of current in scleractinian coral recruit dispersal on artificial substrates

Coral recruitment is the key determinant to preserve coral reef system. This study was conducted in three different stations on Bidong Island. The artificial substrates mounted in frames and deployed horizontally near the coral reef community. The settlement plates were allowed to be colonized for...
