1989年、1990年和1991年对赤岛岛周围的珊瑚产卵行为进行了野外观测。调查集中在Acropora spp.之间的产卵同步化程度。以及它与环境因素波动的关系。从5月到9月初，共观察到85种珊瑚产卵，隶属10科27属。大多数Acropora spp的产卵。时间是同步进行的，但时间在5月和/或6月满月前3晚到满月后7晚之间有所不同。6~8月满月后第2~8晚为非顶孢亚种产卵的主要季节。产卵日期与月相的关系尚不清楚，但其他环境刺激，如温度、盐度和流速的显著变化，可能会触发顶孢子虫之间的大规模同步产卵。
Field observations of spawning behavior of scleractinian corals around Akajima Island were carried out from late spring to summer in 1989, 1990 and 1991. Investigations focused on the degree of spawning synchrony among Acropora spp. and its relation to fluctuations in environmental factors. Eighty-five species, representing 27 genera and 10 families of scleractinian corals, were observed to spawn from May to early September during the 3 years. Spawning of most Acropora spp. took place synchronously but timing varied between the 3rd night before to the 7th night after full moon in May and/or June. Non-Acropora species spawned mainly from the 2nd to the 8th night after full moon from June to August. The relationship between date of spawning and lunar phase was not clear, but other environmental stimuli such as marked changes of temperature, salinity and current velocity might trigger mass synchronous spawning among the Acropora.
