Sexual reproduction in the soft coralLobophytum schoedeiin Bolinao‐Anda Reef Complex, Pangasinan, northwestern Philippines

Abstract: The characterization of early life‐history strategies of soft corals is important in understanding population maintenance, replenishment, and recovery in disturbed coral reefs. This study examined the sexual reproduction of the soft coral Lobophytum schoedei in the Bolinao‐Anda Reef Complex (BARC), a degraded reef in northwestern Philippines. Reproductive strategies such as sexuality, sex ratio, fecundity, and reproductive timing were examined. Random colonies of L. schoedei were sampled a few weeks before the… Show more

“…Gametogenesis in Sclerophytum cf. heterospiculatum was similar to that in most octocorals with available reproductive data (Baran & Baria‐Rodriguez, 2021; Barbosa et al, 2014; Kahng et al, 2011; Wessels, 2016), in that most spermaries and oocytes are first generated in the mesenteries, then migrate to the polyp cavity while still attached with a pedicel at early stages, and finally detach when approaching maturity (Barbosa et al, 2014; Benayahu, 1991; Dahan & Benayahu, 1997; Hwang & Song, 2007, 2011; McFadden & Hochberg, 2003). Furthermore, oogenesis and spermatogenesis do not commence at the same time.…”

“…From July to September, seawater temperatures are relatively more stable, which may explain the observed spawning patterns of this species during this season; a smaller change in temperatures during the spawning period provided a longer period for appropriate gamete release (Hayashibara et al, 1993). Increasing seawater temperature has also been noted to influence the timing of spawning in other soft corals (Baran & Baria‐Rodriguez, 2021; Hwang & Song, 2011).…”
