Published as: Impacts of Fragment Genotype, Habitat, and Size on Outplanted Elkhorn Coral Success under Thermal Stress. | Technique: Coral Gardening - Transplantation Phase | Genera: Acropora | Method: Expt 1: Testing the effect of outplanted fragment size of A. palmata. Two sizes (large=9-12 months old, small=6-9 months), outplanted 1m apart using epoxy. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 25.5% | Post-restoration monitoring: 30 months | Authors' conclusion: No difference in survival between small and large fragments, however small fragments were significantly less prone to bleaching. Small fragments also grew significantly faster than larger fragments | This record was compiled from a published source and has not been confirmed by the organisation that carried out the work. No contribution to the condition index is recorded: the source reports survival of transplanted material, which is not a measure of ecosystem condition.

Recorded result

No result recorded yet. A result is recorded when the project moves to Paused, Completed or Discontinued.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
