Preliminary results on production and calcification of coral reefs communities of Tikehau atoll

1992

Charpy, Loïc | Harmelin-Vivien, M.

The carbon and oxygen metabolism of some coral reef communities of Tikehau atoll were studied in November 1989. Calcification, photosynthèse and respiration were measured during incubation experiments in transparent plastic bags. Over 24 hours period, we observed a net calcification rate for the three studied communities. However, only #Halimeda$ community presented an excess production. (Résumé d'auteur)
