CRC Reef Research Centre, Townsville, 58 pp. Credit Lough, Janice M, Dr (Principal Investigator) Massive Porites colonies were collected from 1 reef in the Coral Sea and 29 reefs located along the length and across the width of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), between November 1987 and May 1992. The reefs were located within the following regions: Northern Coral Sea (Ashmore Reef); Northern GBR (Lagoon Reef, Eel Reef, Portland Roads, Rocky Island, Night Island, Reef No. 13-055 and Reef No. 13-050); Cairns to Cape Melville (Tydeman Reef, Pipon Island, Flinders Island, Watson Island, South Petherbridge Island, Two Isles, Boulder Reef, East Hope Island, Undine Reef, Snapper Island, Batt Reef, and Double Island); Mission Beach (Stephens Island and Bedarra Island); Central GBR (Myrmidon Reef, Rib Reef and Pandora Reef); Southern GBR (Shaw Island, Reef No. 20-200, Credlin Reef, Reef No. 21-141 and Middle Percy ...
