Published as: Successful methods for transplanting fragments of Acropora formosa and Acropora hyacinthus | Technique: Transplantation | Genera: Acropora | Method: The authors tested the effects of orientation of attachment, seasons of transplantation, and size of fragments on survival, growth, and spawning of Acropora formosa and A. hyacinthus. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 58.75% | Post-restoration monitoring: 19 months | Authors' conclusion: Vertically attached, large-sized A. formosa fragments had 98–100% survival rate after 18 months, with higher % of spawning than smaller fragments. The fragments transplanted in August exhibited better survival than those transplanted in November. The fragments that spawned had lower growth rate. Only the vertically attached fragments of A. hyacinthus fused to the substratum, and those transplanted in February showed 100% survival rate after 14 months. | Lessons reported: Seasonality of transplantation. | 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.
