Abstract

Growth of Acropora cervicornis fragments were measured before and after three months during the summer bleaching events of 2014 and 2015.

Bleached and unbleached Acropora cervicornis fragments were measured for total linear extension immediately after being collected from nursery block platforms and after three months.  The number of branches formed on each fragment was also recorded.
