Dear Listers.
Greetings! This short notice is to inform that mass spawning was documented in Elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) at Vega Baja, along the northern coast of Puerto Rico, during the evenings of Thursday Sept. 3 (21:10-21:30 hr) and Friday Sept. 4 (21:00-21:30 hr). Mass spawning was the most extensive documented since 2008 in the area.
No spawning was documented yet in Staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) in Vega Baja. No spawning was documented in A. cervicornis in Culebra Island either (Thursday Sept. 3).
We also have information that mass spawning was also documented in Brain coral (Pseudodiploria strigosa) in Isla Verde, at Carolina, Puerto Rico.
Will provide additional information if necessary.
