Abstract
Corals reefs are ecosystems with great flora and fauna diversity that under anthropogenic and climatic stress produce chemical defense compounds. Therefore, we determined the phenols, chlorophyll-a, chlorophyllc1+c2, and carotenes content in Pocillopora capitata corals collected at three sites, off the coast of Jalisco (Central Mexican Pacific), under multiple stress conditions, in two different seasons. Phenols, chlorophyll-a/cm2, chlorophyllc1+ c2/cm2, and carotenes/cm2 content ranged from 1.49�4.43 �gGAE/g, 1.28�2.08 �g/cm2, 0.15�0.43 �g/cm2, and 0.20�0.77 �g/cm2, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the phenols and carotenes content between the seasons. The phenols and pigments content tended to be higher in the rainy season (October) than in the dry season (February).Key words: Phenols, carotenes, chlorophyll, hermatypic corals, oxidative stress
