Yuri Ya Latypov

A composition and structure of coral communities of littoral and sub littoral two large bays Van Phong and Nha Trang of Khang Hoa province in South Vietnam were studied. Intertidal zonation of communities identified. Clear pathological changes of corals due to anthropogenic impact. Set optimal status of coral communities protected reefs and dramatic changes on reefs subject to anthropogenic influences. Five types of intertidal zone investigated. It has been established that rocky-stony littoral possesses the greatest biodiversity (5 belts have been distinguished in vertical communities). A lagoon type littoral studied for the first time.
