| 中文摘要 | Luhuitou fringing reef at Hainan Island (northern South China Sea) has experienced severe anthropogenic disturbance, with live coral cover declining by > 80 % since the 1960 s. To assess the size structure of Porites lutea, we measured the sizes of 1,857 colonies from the reef flat (0 m) and slope (2-4 m depth). Both populations were positively skewed and leptokurtic in shape, indicating a high abundance of smaller colonies (averaging 21.4 +/- A 2.3 cm on the flat and 31.9 +/- A 2.8 cm on the slope). Age structure of populations was determined through growth rates extracted from X-rays of P. lutea cores. The majority of colonies (> 95 %) were < 50 yr old, with 55 % of P. lutea on the reef flat having recruited following the establishment of a marine reserve in 1990. The abundance of younger colonies indicates significant recovery of P. lutea following the removal of chronic anthropogenic disturbance. |
