C. The size of Coral mariculture
The seed of coral mariculture comes from the nature for the main coral or fragment of natural main coral picture 1 which has maximum height or
diameter of 10 cm. Fragment which will be used for coral offspring as the product of
transplantation picture 2 comes from the fragment of main coral, and the size is fitted to the need of creativity of the doer of the business itself.
D. The Location Choice for Coral Transplantation
Some criteria as consideration in choosing location, as follows: 1. Transplantation location is outside conservation area and tourist resort
as well. 2. The location is not a small port for fishermen and industrial area.
3. The location is a coral habitat and relatively protected by waves. 4. The water base is relatively flat shallow with sand substrate and coral
community. 5. It won’t dry when the water is very low.
6. Having water quality in accordance with the need of coral growth will be transplanted.
7. It is inside the artificial habitat using certain technology.
E. Structure and Infrastructure
Structure and infrastructure needed in transplantation are: 1. Holding storage for acclimate in proper number needed.
2. Working place either in the water or on the land. 3. Having the transportation waterland and handling facilities.
4. Transplantation equipments. 5. Cleaning equipments.
6. Diving equipmentsbasic equipments. 7. Transplantation shelves table for main coral or the offspring and other
equipments. 8. Basic substrate for transplantation.
F. Technical Knowledge of Coral mariculture.
Knowledge needed for the success of coral mariculture activity are: 1. Coral Surrounding.
2. Transplantation technique. 3. Administration and license.
G. Technical Preparation for Coral Plantation
1. The choice of coral seed. a. The seed should be in healthy condition.
b. The coral taken is free from other organism attachment as sponge. It is to avoid other unnecessary biota taken together.
c. It is advisable that the coral seed is taken from nearest location of transplantation or from another area, or from the offspring
production of transplantation, but it must be completed with supported document.
d. In taking the seed which come from the species and location stated is not quoted in the quota stated, it must pay attention
on the coral potency in the nature natural habitat through a research or survey of stock assessment.
2. The transportation of mariculture’s coral seed. The seed transportation is done effectively and efficiently by
considering the travel distance, to avoid the death and destruction of coral.
3. Substrate base Substrate base is a media for coral fragment that will be transplanted,
it is made similar to the real habitat in nature. The most important thing to be done is the choice of substrate base material which is stands
long in the sea water so it will be a good coral fragment media. Substratebase used in coral mariculture consists of:
a. Substratebase for main coral is in a round shapes with the diameter
of 10 – 15 cm or in square shape with the length and width about 10 – 15 cm with 3 cm thick. Substrate from cement is suggested.
b. Substratebase for the coral offspring based on the size, shape and material are free according to the exporters improvisation using
recycle material
4. Attachment of coral mariculture on the substrate. The attachment of coral mariculture must be strong and can be done
practically using recycle materials. The sample is on picture 3. The attachment of coral can be differing for the shake of trading and
breeding. The amount of breeding is fitted to the plan of quota production of offspring annually to be traded.
Picture 3. Attaching and signing coral as the product of transplantation
5. TaggingLabeling Giving sign on the coral mariculture has purpose to making different the
coral from nature and transplantation also to control monitors them easily.
Signs used are permanent label and it is done together with attaching process of coral on the substrate base in fixed and tight condition. It is
regulated on Forestry Minister Statement number 355Kpts-II2003 about the signing of specimen of plant and wild animals.
Label can be made from hard strong plastic or other water proof materials using clear writing as shown in picture 4

Shelve table of transplantation is a media to put the main coral and the offspring visually and it is done to differ the way of separating the place
of shelf between the main and offspring coral. The dimension of table and the place to put it must be proper in order to
do the control easily, and also the maintenance, the amount calculation for each species. In general, and it is today’s practice that the
dimension of the table is 1 x 1 m. In every table only one kind of species recommended. The material used to make shelf and table are
steel, plastic pipe, aluminum, or other recycle materials.
7. The Placement of fragment on the shelves. The distance to place between the fragments is fitted according to kinds
and the size of coral main or offspring, so there will be no aggregation among the coral physically. To place the main coral on the shelf of 1 x 1
m is 16 pieces maximum. While placing the offspring on the shelf of 1 x 1 m the maximum number is 100 pieces.
