Influence of different feeding regimes on the survival, growth, and biochemical composition of Acropora coral recruits.
Heterotrophic feeding in newly-settled coral planulae can potentially improve survivorship and accelerate early development in some species; however, an optimal diet to facilitate this does not currently exist. This study evaluated the efficacy of three heterotrophic feeding regimes (enriched rotife...
