Skeletal density and growth form of corals
This paper explores inter-specific variation in the density of coral skeletons. I present new data on the porosity of 7 species of reef-building scleractinians, and briefly review 20 previous studies on approximately 23 addihonal corals. Although the total number of species examined so far is still small, the review reveals a consistent pattern of skeletal density among different morphological ...
متن کاملEnvironmental implications of skeletal micro-density and porosity variation in two scleractinian corals.
The correlations between skeletal parameters (bulk density, micro-density and porosity), coral age and sea surface temperature were assessed along a latitudinal gradient in the zooxanthellate coral Balanophyllia europaea and in the azooxanthellate coral Leptopsammia pruvoti. In both coral species, the variation of bulk density was more influenced by the variation of porosity than of micro-densi...
متن کاملBiotic Control of Skeletal Growth by Scleractinian Corals in Aragonite–Calcite Seas
Modern scleractinian coral skeletons are commonly composed of aragonite, the orthorhombic form of CaCO3. Under certain conditions, modern corals produce calcite as a secondary precipitate to fill pore space. However, coral construction of primary skeletons from calcite has yet to be demonstrated. We report a calcitic primary skeleton produced by the modern scleractinian coral Acropora tenuis. W...
متن کاملan investigation about the relationship between insurance lines and economic growth; the case study of iran
مطالعات قبلی بازار بیمه را به صورت کلی در نظر می گرفتند اما در این مطالعه صنعت بیمه به عنوان متغیر مستفل به بیمه های زندگی و غیر زندگی شکسته شده و هم چنین بیمه های زندگی به رشته های مختلف بیمه ای که در بازار بیمه ایران سهم قابل توجهی دارند تقسیم میشود. با استفاده از روشهای اقتصاد سنجی داده های برای دوره های 48-89 از مراکز ملی داده جمع آوری شد سپس با تخمین مدل خود بازگشتی برداری همراه با تعدادی ...
15 صفحه اولResponses of growth rates and growth hormone levels of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) to stocking density
In order to estimate responses of growth rate and growth hormone of Clarias gariepinus to stocking density, fish (initial weight 30.71 ± 0.89 g) were stocked in 120-L tanks at densities of 35, 65, 95, and 125 kg/m3 for 60 days. On day 30 and 60, the fish growth rates were measured, pituitary growth hormone (GH) mRNA levels and serum GH concentrations were examined by real-time qPCR and ELISA te...
