Abstract

This study presents the first karyotype of a scleractinian coral. Goniopora lobata is a dioecious, tropical coral whose larvae develop externally after the synchronous release of eggs and sperm. In the first 12 hours of development the embryos are an excellent source of metaphase material and allow good chromosome preparations to be made. The karyotype of 28 (n = 14) chromosomes, between 1 and 5 microns long, consists of nine metacentric and five submetacentric pairs. A subtelocentric secondary constriction is present on one pair of metacentrics.
