In vitro fertilization techniques to promote Caribbean coral restoration efforts


A) Diploria Labirinthiformis, B) Colophilia Natan, C) Pseudodiploria Strigosa, and D) Orbisella Fevolta. The couples collected from these species were used in a series of fertilization assays to determine the impact of coupling co-concert time on sperm concentration, coupling age, and IVF success.

key findings:

  • Coupling feasibility: Coral couples remain viable for at least four hours after collection, allowing researchers to mix couples from several sites to increase genetic diversity.
  • Fertilization time: Brain Coral (D. Labirinthimormis, C. Natans, and P. Stigosa) quickly fertilize-reduce risks less than just 15 minutes of co-egg-egg co-egg co-eggs.
  • O. FAVELATA requirements: This fundamental reef-beding coral requires optimal fertilization success for a long time (60–120 minutes).
  • Sperm Concentration: Minimum sperm concentration Threshold was identified at 105-106 Cells/ml, providing important benchmarks for IVF protocols.
