Type of article: Article

Summary

Coral species are treated worldwide and the authors attempted to develop methods of conserving coral larvae. Pocillopora damicornis and Fungia scutaria were investigated. Both species showed wide tolerance to cryoprotectants. Data suggest that vitrification may prove to be the only means enabling successful cryopreservation.
