Sexual production of corals for reef restoration in the Anthropocene (2020, background): “…upper surfaces, for example, may favour energy acquisition via photosynthesis by symbionts; however, in this orientation, the ~1 mm juvenile polyps may be more prone to predation, overgrowth by algae, and smothering by sediments (Vermeij 2006, Gleason & Hofmann 2011, Jones et al. 2015).”
Coral propagation: a review of techniques for ornamental trade and reef restoration (2017, background): “…nonfeeding and nonzooxanthellae soft coral) planula larvae were observed to absorb significant quantities of nonpolar amino acids (Ben-David-Zaslow & Benayahu 2000), suggesting that larval metabolism could potentially benefit from uptake of dissolved organic matter (Gleason & Hofmann 2011).”
Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “…planula larvae of brooders settle soon after leaving the mother colonies, floating larvae of broadcasting acroporid take 5–8 days before settlement at 26–27°C, and some merulinid larvae begin to settle after 2–3 days (Babcock and Heyward 1986; Harrison and Wallace 1990; Gleason and Hofmann 2011).”
