Fig. 12: Depth-dependent growth rates of different zooxanthellate scleractinian colonies in the Gulf of Aqaba (29° 30`N). Growth rates are related to the surface of the skeletogenic tissue of each colony. Annual mean values (n>30) of each species. A.v. =Acropora variabilis, A.s. = Acropora squarossa, S.p. = Stylophora pistillata, M.e. = Mycedium elephantotus, P.s. = Porites sp.
