造礁石珊瑚是珊瑚礁生态系统中的基本框架生物，近年来受到诸多因素的影响已处于退化状态,进行珊瑚礁恢复已迫在眉睫。造礁石珊瑚群落恢复的关键在于礁体能够产生大量的珊瑚幼体补充。本研究运用室内培养与自然放归的方法，通过深入研究造礁石珊瑚幼虫的附着与变态对壳状珊瑚藻种类选择特异性，着重探讨珊瑚幼虫附着后的存活率与珊瑚藻的关系。进而为利用壳状珊瑚藻进行珊瑚幼体培育提供参考和支撑。研究成果将深化对造礁石珊瑚群体恢复的措施的认识，不仅对于评估造礁石珊瑚在自然状态下的群落恢复力具重要意义，也对珊瑚礁保护区的科学设计与有效管理也具有指导价值。

The hermatypic corals are the basic framework organisms in the reef ecosystems, being in a degraded state for the influence of many negative factors in recent years. It is extremely urgent to do the coral reef recruitment. The key of the coral community recruitment is that large amounts of coral larvae are available in the reef. In this study, the indoor cultivation and natural reintroduction will be applied to study the specific types selecting of coral larval settlement and metamorphosis to the coralline algae, and focuses on the relationship between the post-settlement survival of coral larvae and coralline algae. In return, this will provide good reference and support for the coral larval culture by using crustose coralline algae. The proposed research will significantly contribute to our basic understanding on the coral community recruitment measures, not only on the evaluating the coral recruitment resilience under natural state, but also benefiting the scientific designation and effective management in coral reef protected areas.
