BIOCONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES OF THE TEMPERATE CORAL Cladocora caespitosa (ANTHOZOA, SCLERACTINIA) IN VELIKO JEZERO (MLJET NATIONAL PARK, ADRIATIC SEA)
The Mediterranean endemic Cladocora caespitosa (Linnaeus, 1767) is a colonial scleractinian coral belonging to the family Faviidae and the only zooxanthellate coral from Mediterranean whose colonies may fuse in reef-like structures similar to those in tropical seas. This coral is known as one of the major carbonate producers in the Mediterranean Sea. The C. caespitosa bank in Veliko jezero covers an area more than 650 m2, spreads at a depth from 6 to 18 meters, and is thus the largest bank of C. caespitosa found to date. The mean linear growth rate of the coral C. caespitosa, range from 1.75 to 5.64 mm• year-1 and this results is similar to the typical tropical reef-building corals.
