Abstract:
The following protocol is intended to guide the salvage and restoration of small (<50cm) fragments from Acropora palmata colonies. The guidelines here are based on the results of an in situ field experiment comparing 2 different attachment methods. Addi-tional methods have been used in the past (see Bruckner 2002 Appendix I) Both me-thods evaluated here performed well and resulted in higher survival and increased tissue growth over fragments that were left loose. Both methods will be detailed in these instructions along with some factors that should be considered when choosing which method will be used"--P. [3].
