Successful sexual reproduction of the scleractinian coral Porites panamensis: Evidence of planktonic larvae and recruitment

Abstract: Porites panamensis is a hermatypic brooder coral endemic to, and distributed along, the Eastern Tropical Pacific, and is considered a species vulnerable to local effects because it has limited capacity for long‐distance dispersal (and low genetic diversity). Although larvae of P. panamensis have been previously shown to recruit to artificial settlement platforms, they have never been observed in the water column. The present study describes the reproductive behavior of P. panamensis, with a focus on using mole… Show more

“…Habitat loss is among the most common drivers of site-attached species prevalence, as in the case of herbivorous fish species observed in Marietas on our study [79,80]. In Marietas, combined with the evidence of thermal resistance [82], successful sexual reproduction and recruitment of corals [83,84], as well as the recovery after disturbance events [52], could promote the persistence of habitat for reef fish, however, other drivers could compromise these characteristics.…”

“…Coral larvae were collected in Islas Marias Biosphere Reserve (21°17'24.0" N -106°14'24.0" W). Sampling was performed in July and August 2017, recorded period of gamete maturation for P. panamensis in the region (Carpizo-Ituarte et al, 2011;Santiago-Valentín et al, 2019). The collection of larvae was performed at noon, slowly dragging a net (30 cm diameter with a mesh size of 150 µm) in the vicinity of live coral colonies for ≈20 min covering an approximate area of 250 m 2 .…”

“…Morphological and molecular identification were carried over as previously described in Santiago-Valentín et al (2019), using the molecular marker (Cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene: COXI), amplified with PCR, using the primers: LCOI490 (5´-GGGT-CAACAAATCATAAAGAYATYGG -3´) and HCOI21908 (3´-TAAACTTCAGGGTGAC-CAAARAAYCA -5´) (Folmer et al, 1994). Forward and reverse sequences were manually edited in order to obtain a consensus sequence using Geneious® V.4.8.5 software (Biomatters, 2010).…”
