Acropora caroliniana is a species of acroporid coral that was first described by Nemenzo in 1976. Found in tropical, shallow reef slopes, it occurs at depths of Шаблон:Convert in a marine environment. The species is rated as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, with a decreasing population. It is rare, but has been found over a large area, and two-thirds of the regions of Indonesia.
Description
Acropora caroliniana species form in thick horizontal structures, made of flat branches.[1] It is light green,[2] pale blue or white-brown in colour, and are also found on small branchlets. These have large axial corallites with diameters up to Шаблон:Convert[2] which become narrow at the ends, and curve upwards. The species' radial corallites are small and "pocket-like". It looks similar to Acropora lokani and Acropora loripes.[1][2] It is found on the upper slopes of tropical, shallow reefs, at depths of between Шаблон:Convert, and reaches maturity at over eight years.[3] The species is found at temperatures of Шаблон:Convert.[4] Colonies have diameters of up to Шаблон:Convert and branchlets can reach lengths of Шаблон:Convert and widths of Шаблон:Convert.[2]
Distribution
Acropora caroliniana is uncommon but found over a large area; Australia, western Pacific, the Indo-Pacific, Pohnpei, and Fiji in marine habitats. It occurs in two-thirds of the regions of Indonesia and also in Papua New Guinea.[3] It is threatened by the global reduction of coral reefs, the increase of temperature causing bleaching, disease, coral harvesting, climate change, fishing, human development, pollution, and being prey to starfish Acanthaster planci.[3] It is sometimes found in Marine Protected Areas. It is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List as the population is decreasing, and is listed under Appendix II of CITES.[3]
Taxonomy
It was first described by F. Nemenzo in 1976 in the Philippines as Acropora caroliniana.[5]
