Coral Tissue Thickness as a Bioindicator of Mine-Related Turbidity Stress on Coral Reefs at Lihir Island, Papua New Guinea
Work described here assessed the feasibility of using variations in tissue thickness in massive Porites corals as a bioindicator for mine-related sediment stress. We examined parameters influencing coral tissue thickness, including water depth, location, season, and time period within the lunar mont...
