Photoinhibition, bleaching susceptibility and mortality in two scleractinian corals, Platygyra ryukyuensis and Stylophora pistillata, in response to thermal and light stresses

In the present study, we examined the effect of thermal stress on the photoinhibitory light threshold in a bleaching susceptible ( Stylophora pistillata) and a bleaching resistant ( Platygyra ryukyuensis) coral. Four light (0, 110, 520, 1015 μmol quanta m −2 s −1) and three temperature (26, 32 and 3...
