PERKEMBANGAN LARVA DALAM EMBRIOGENESIS KARANG Acropora HASIL PEMIJAHAN EX-SITU
ABSTRACT: Fertilization and
larval development determine the coral population survivalof species, which has
a difference characteristic of embryogenesis. This research wasaimed to compare
the embryo and larval development spawned in November 2011 in Grear Barrier
Reef, Australia.Embryonic cellsdevelopment were observed in interval timesfrom
one cell of egg tomulticellular stage (prawnchip), and larval development observed
from the prawnchip stageto the planulae.The results showed the development of
embryos and larvae significantly differed between two species, i.e. embryos and
larvae of Acropora millepora grew faster than A.tenuis. The maximum size of
planulae larvae of A. millepora (800-1000 μm) is biggerthan A. tenuis (650-900 μm).
Embryo and larvae development were different due to species variability, hence
this reseach can be adapted for laboratory proccess of coral larvae nursery.
