Coral growth, survivorship and return-on-effort within nurseries at high-value sites on the Great Barrier Reef. by Lorna Howlett, Emma F Camp, John Edmondson, Nicola Henderson, David J Suggett

“…Survivorship across all 2,536 nursery fragments was ca. 80-100%, with some species exhibiting higher survivorship at Blue Lagoon (Acropora loripes, Porites cylindrica) and others at RayBan (A. hyacinthus, Montipora hispida). Parallel measurements of growth and survivorship were used to determine relative return-on-effort (RRE) scores as an integrated metric of "success" accounting for life history trade-offs, complementing the mutually exclusive assessment of growth or survivorship. …”
