Published as: Restoration technology using sexual reproduction. In: Omori M, Fujiwara S (eds) Manual for restoration and remediation of coral reefs. pp 14–28 | Technique: Coral Gardening | Genera: Acropora, Porites | Method: Egg/sperm bundles collected during spawning, using individuals 'tents' over coral colonies. Bundles from 3 or more colonies mixed in bucket to fertilise. Fertilised eggs also collected from slicks on the surface, the morning after spawning. Larvae reared in aquaria ex situ, or floating ponds 'in-situ'. The sides of ponds are sprayed with water to avoid larvae from sticking on them. Frozen chips of coralline algae and/or neuropeptide Hym 248 are added to the water to induce settlement in tanks. … | Authors' conclusion: n/a | Lessons reported: n/a | 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.
