Published as: Farming of the fire‐coral Millepora alcicornis for reef restoration purposes: the influence of inclination on growth. | Technique: Coral Gardening - Nursery Phase | Genera: Millepora | Method: Coral fragments on trays, oriented horizontally and vertically. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 100% | Post-restoration monitoring: 3 months | Authors' conclusion: While horizontal nubbins grew more branch tips, vertical nubbins had higher growth. Authors speculate that orientation of fragment should be guided by objective: Fast growth=vertical, increase 3D complexity=horizontal orientation. | Lessons reported: If nubbins are to be used as new donor colonies, they should be grown horizontally, since number of branch tips are increased in that orientation. | 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.
