Roder, C. Jantzen, G. Schmidt, G. Kattner, N. Phongsuwan, C. Richter] The metabolic plasticity of the two mounding coral species Porites lutea (Milne-Edwards and Haime, 1860) and Diploastrea heliopora (Lamarck, 1816) was investigated in the Similan Islands (Thailand), an offshore Andaman Sea island group subjected to large amplitude internal waves (LAIW). Nutrient concentrations were highly correlated with LAIW intensity and contributed to 3- and 10-fold higher symbiont densities in P. lutea and D. heliopora, respectively, along with elevated pigment concentrations, protein content, host tissue, and symbiont biomass. The comparison of LAIW-exposed and LAIW-sheltered island faces, and LAIW-intense and LAIW-weak years suggests a species-specific metabolic plasticity to LAIW, where D. heliopora benefits more from increased nutrient and organic matter availability than P. lutea. The ubiquitous LAIW in Southeast Asia and beyond may provide so far unexplored clues to coral acclimatization to disturbances on various scales, and hence, a potential key to coral resilience to climate change.
