Published as: Survival, growth, and branch production of unattached fragments of the threatened hermatypic coral Acropora cervicornis. | Technique: Transplantation | Disturbance addressed: General degradation | Genera: Acropora | Method: Naturally occurring fragments of A. cervicornis were attached only by a monofilament line and monitored for 18 months at two sites to quantify survival, growth, and branching dynamics. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 22.5% | Post-restoration monitoring: 18 months | Authors' conclusion: Fragment survivorship did not exceed 26%, growth rates were low, and fragments barely produced new branches, with no difference for different size categories. | Lessons reported: Stable attachment is important for fragment survival. | 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.
