Coral propagation: a review of techniques for ornamental trade and reef restoration (2017, background): “Scleractinian species can be fragmented successfully with the use of wire cutters (Rinkevich 2000; Shafir et al. 2001, 2003; Okubo et al. 2005, 2007; Vijayavel & Richmond 2012; Shafir & Rinkevich 2013; Fig.”
Degradation and restoration of coral reefs: Experience in Okinawa, Japan (2011, background): “A number of studies have been carried out to discover the best way to increase survival and growth rates of transplanted corals (cf. Epstein et al. 2001; Soong & Chen 2003; Okubo 2004; Rinkevich 2005; Okubo et al. 2007).”
Propagation of the threatened staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis: methods to minimize the impacts of fragment collection and maximize production (2010, background): “Additionally, metabolic costs will be incurred by the fragments extracted, which will need to invest energy in regeneration, potentially resulting in increased mortality and reduced growth and reproduction (Lirman and Fong 1997; Lirman 2000b; Okubo et al. 2007).”
