Published as: Ex situ transportation of coral larvae for research, conservation, and aquaculture | Technique: Coral Gardening - Nursery Phase | Genera: Acropora, Diploria | Method: Transported several thousand larvae of three broadcast spawners from the Indo Pacific and the Caribbean to Europe. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 80.5053% | Authors' conclusion: Post-transport survival rates were mainly influenced by larvae density and transport duration. Optimum survival rates of >90% at densities of 4 larvae ml_x0001_-1 when not exceeding a transportation time of 4 days. | Lessons reported: Details of packaging, duration, logistics of long-distance transport | 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.
