Coral propagation: a review of techniques for ornamental trade and reef restoration (2017, background): “Linden and Rinkevich (2011), who remarked that the difficulty faced in previous research with reductions in spat viability and growth rates could be attributed to intraspecific competition (Okamoto et al. 2005; Petersen et al. 2005a; Nozawa 2008; Omori & Iwao 2009).”
Sexual production of corals for reef restoration in the Anthropocene (2020, background): “Firstly, substrates have been engineered with multiple surface orientations and microtopography, such as corners, crevices, holes, and divots, to offer a refuge from accidental grazing and to limit sedimentation impacts (Nozawa 2008, Chamberland et al. 2017).”
Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “According to Nozawa (2008), while all coral spat of three coral species including Echinophyllia aspera (Ellis & Solander, 1786) that settled on a plain tile surface died within the first four months at the sea, while that settled in the small crevices 3–4 mm deep survived.”
