Abstract:
"Using the archive of available video and photographic records from the Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) and the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), we developed a model to predict the occurrence of two dominant mesophotic coral genera, Leptoseris and Montipora, across the main Hawaiian Islands. The overall prediction success (73.6% and 74.3%, respectively) was relatively high, and these predictions were translated to spatially independent habitat suitability maps of the main Hawaiian Islands at 25 m2 resolution. Montipora presence peaks in the middle mesophotic zone (50 - 80 m) in areas sheltered from high intensity winter swells, whereas Leptoseris tends to colonize steep, rugose, well-flushed areas in the lower mesophotic zone (> 80 m)"--Executive Summary.
