Coral recruitment success and sessile benthic colonisation estimation in Tioman Island Marine Park, Malaysia

This study examined the implementation of designated artificial reef plates made of coral rubble, sand and plasters cement as a potential substrate in order to optimise the recruitment success at four reef sites in Tioman Island in Malaysia, namely Genting Village, Renggis Island, Teduh Bay and Juar...
