Abstract excerpt
Amidst global reef declines, large-scale coral aquaculture is being developed to support reef intervention. Genetic diversity underpins population resilience and therefore it is critical that aquaculture methods maintain diversity. However, it remains unclear how genetic diversity of coral progeny is shaped by (1) parental genetic composition, (2) winnowing during aquaculture grow-out, and (3) field deployment....
