本文报道了牙买加一个珊瑚礁上的珊瑚Montastrea annularisonJamaica，W.使用茜素红-S染色技术测定1年的Indies。生长速率与水深和生长形式有关。M.环孢菌允许在低光强下菌落表面积持续快速增加。牙买加珊瑚礁的地貌可能部分地受M.环状的
Thein-situgrowth rate of the reef coralMontastrea annularison a reef at Jamaica, W. Indies was determined for a 1-year period using Alizarin Red-S staining techniques. Growth rate is correlated with water depth and growth form. The flattened growth form ofM. annularisallows for continued rapid increase in colony surface area at low light intensities. The geomorphology of Jamaican reefs may in part be controlled by the population ecology ofM. annularis.
