Community structure of reef corals in Payar Island, Malaysia

The community structure of reef corals were investigated by applying a method of Coral Video Transect (CVT) at seven fringing reef sites around Payar Island, Peninsular Malaysia. Field survey recorded 37 genera from 12 families, from which massive Porites and massive-platy Physogyra were found domin...

Field survey recorded 37 genera from 12 families, from which massive Porites and massive-platy Physogyra were found dominant in the coral assemblages.

The finding of this study also showed that the reefs around Payar Island were in "poor" condition with low average coverage of live corals (14.8% ± 6.1 ). Most of the reef sites were categorized as having "poor" (8.1% - 20.8%) condition, low generic complexity (H': 1.46 - 2.17; J': 0.58 - 0.84) and low reef conservation value (CC 1). The unsustainable tourism related activities result from the increase number of tourists and shortcoming in environmental conservation are the factors which influenced poor reef condition, few generic diversity, low generic complexity and low reef conservation value in Payar Island. 2016-08-23 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/56901/7/Fikri%20Community_structure.pdf Khodzori, Mohd Fikri Akmal and Saad, Shahbudin and Mat Zain, Khairul Amira (2016) Community structure of reef corals in Payar Island, Malaysia.
