AFSC/ABL: Coldwater coral growth
Colonies of the gorgonian coral Calcigorgia spiculifera were tagged at three sites in Southeast Alaska, Little Port Walter, Tenakee Inlet, and Kelp Bay. The corals were videoed in situ. Growth of individual coral branches was determined from video observations. Average annual branch growth was greatest at Kelp Bay (8.8 mm) and lowest at Tenakee Inlet (3.0 mm). Branch growth was positively correlated with colony size.
