Turbulence affects larval vertical swimming in the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa
Vertical migration of marine larvae may drastically affect their dispersal, especially if they are spawned in the deep sea. Previous studies have shown that the planktonic larvae of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa in still water swim upwards at a speed of ca. 0.5 mm s-1 during a pre-competency...
