Abstract
Investigation of role of zooplankton feeding by coral at Heron Island in the southern Great Barrier Reef. It was estimated that coral obtained 10% of its carbon by consumption of zooplankton and 90% by photosynthesis. The zooplankton consumption was an important part of the coral symbiosis as it provided nitrogen and phosphorus to support zooxanthellae photosynthesis in a low nutrient aquatic environment.
