Fig 5. Specific growth of in situ and ex situ reared Porites astreoides.

Fig 5

Specific growth of juvenile P. astreoides reared on shallow (10 m) and upper mesophotic (30 m) reefs (in situ) did not differ using transplant depth and Symbiodinium phylotype combinations as factors (left). Specific growth of shallow and upper mesophotic juvenile P. astreoides reared in outdoor aquaria (ex situ) also did not differ (right). Both treatments of in situ reared juveniles (left) had significantly higher growth rates than both treatments of ex situ reared juveniles (right). Shaded bars represent mean specific growth (% growth d-1) ± SE.
