摘要

The ivory tree coral Oculina varicosa (Leseur, 1820) is an ahermatypic branching scleractinian that colonizes limestone ledges at depths of 6 - 100 m along the Atlantic coast of Florida. This paper describes the development of embryos and larvae from shallow- water O. varicosa, collected at 6 - 8 m depth in July 1999 o. Fort Pierce, Florida ( 27degrees 32.542 N; 79degrees 58.732 W). The effect of temperature on embryogenesis, larval survival, and larval swimming speed were examined in the laboratory. Ontogenetic changes in geotaxis and phototaxis were also investigated. Embryos developed via spiral cleavage from small ( 100 mum), negatively buoyant eggs. Ciliated larvae developed after 6 - 9 h at 25 degreesC. Embryogenesis ceased at 10 degreesC, was inhibited at 17 degreesC, and progressed normally at 25 degreesC and 30 degreesC. Larval survival, however, was high across the full range of experimental temperatures ( 11 - 31 degreesC), although mortality increased in the warmest treatments ( 26 degreesC and 31 degreesC). Larval swimming speed was highest at 25 degreesC, and lower at the temperature extremes ( 5 degreesC and 35 degreesC). An ontogenetic change in geotaxis was observed; newly ciliated larvae swam to the water surface and remained there for approximately 18 h, after which they swam briefly throughout the water column, then became demersal. Early larvae showed no response to light stimulation, but at 14 and 23 days larvae appeared to exhibit negatively phototactic behavior. Although low temperatures inhibited the development of O. varicosa embryos, the larvae survived temperature extremes for extended periods of time. Ontogenetic changes in larval behavior may ensure that competent larvae are close to the benthos to facilitate settlement. Previous experiments on survival, swimming speeds, and observations on behavior of O. varicosa larvae from deep-water adults indicate that there is no difference between larvae of the deep and shallow populations.
