概要 |
This study presents information on zooxanthellate scleractinian coral fauna from the shallow coastal waters of the Amakusa Shimoshima Island, Western Kyushu, Japan, based on surveys conducted in 2009 ...and 2019. Collection and identification by members of the Japanese Society for Coral Taxonomy resulted in a total of c. 80 species representing 12 families and 40 genera. The dominant families were Merulinidae that accounted for 32.5% (26 species), followed by Acroporidae (20%, 16 species) and Lobophylliidae (12.5%, 10 species). Twelve species remained unidentified, as they do not match any previous description of coral species and are possibly endemic to Japan. Many of the identified species also presented substantial taxonomic difficulties which, together with the existence of unidentified species, point to a need for continued taxonomic research.続きを見る
