Short-term growth of octocorals Swiftia exserta and Muricea pendula in a mesocosm
To optimize fragmentation approaches for restoration applications, this study assessed fragmentation size influences on health and growth rates of mesophotic octocorals. Growth rates for Swiftia exserta (n=6) and Muricea pendula (n=9) were determined using photogrammetry in a mesocosm over a 90-day...
