Transplantation — Eilat

Published as: Steps towards the evaluation of coral reef restoration by using small branch fragments | Technique: Transplantation | Genera: Stylophora | Method: Measured differences in calcification rates in fragments of different sizes, transplanted from different depths | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 70% | Post-restoration monitoring: 12 months | Authors' conclusion: Up to 70% variation in growth rates between up-growing branches of a specific genet. Tip ratios in dichotomous branches di€ffer significantly between newly formed and older branches. Small-sized branches are suitable for restoration purposes. | Lessons reported: Restoration may either sacrifice whole large colonies via pruning high numbers of small fragments or, by pruning a few small branches from each one of many genets. | 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.
