Coral lifeforms diversity and distribution at selected places in west coast and East Coast of Tioman Island

Current is a prominent event in the ocean and one of the significant factors influencing structure of reef ecosystem. Each individual reef has its unique growth and the distribution is depending on the current in the particular localities. Interrelation between current and morphological response of...

Each individual reef has its unique growth and the distribution is depending on the current in the particular localities. Interrelation between current and morphological response of coral was studied in selected location at Tioman Island. Acoustic Doppler current profiles (ADCP) was deployed to collect data of current speed and current direction with 10 minutes interval. MIKE 21 Flow model FM were used to model the hydrodynamic pattern of the study area. The model were calibrated using secondary field current data with reasonable R2 value of 0.6096. Using the calibrated model, the mean current speed for two selected stations at the West coast of Tioman Island was 0.0455 m/s and 0.1793 m/s; while the mean current speed for two selected stations at the East coast of Tioman Island was 0.0410 m/s and 0.0529 m/s. Based on the coral life form distribution at the study area, the type of growth form at the west coast dominated by Acropora branching coral and massive/submassive coral while in east coast was dominated by Acoropora branching coral and plate-like coral respectively. Different growth form of coral is emerged in response to different current speed. This study showed that the distribution of coral growth form was influence by current action. 2016-03-23 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/50554/1/50554.pdf Ahmad, Zuhairi and Kamarumtham, Kharina and Halid, Nor Hidayah and Saad, Shahbudin and Khodzori, Mohd Fikri Akmal and Hanapiah, Muhammad Faiz and Yusof, Mohd Hamizan (2016) Coral lifeforms diversity and distribution at selected places in west coast and East Coast of Tioman Island.
