| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We supplied Acropora tenuis larvae with type A1, A2, and A3 Symbiodinium culture strains under the laboratory condition. The infection rate and density of cells infected with types A1 and A3 did not decrease even after the supply of Symbiodinium cells was stopped, and thus these Symbiodinium and the larvae were successfully established their symbiosis. Whereas, the infection rate and density of cells infected with the type A2 was declined. Thus, symbiosis was not established in this combination. The survival and settlement rates of the tested larvae were not significantly different among the treatments. In the field experiment, we artificially introduced type A1 and A2 to A. tenuis larvae, then these larvae were settled on the artificial grid plates set in the natural field. However, A2 Symbiodinium in the tested larvae quickly replaced with A1 or D Symbiodinium acquired from surrounding environment.
