Aquarists in SeaSim have manipulated environmental “signals” to reproduce corals months ahead of the natural spawning season, at a more convenient time for scientists conducting world-leading reef restoration research.
For the first time, researchers from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) have successfully bred the next generation of captive-raised corals in an experimental aquarium outside of their natural reproductive window, months before the annual spawning season on
Research being undertaken at AIMS during GBR spawning was part of a Reef Recovery program which involves freezing and banking coral sperm, in a bid to safeguard at-risk species and their genetic...
