Description:"The design and construction of small scale experimental systems for the study of scleractinian corals under a variety of stressor conditions demands considerable attention due to the many facets one should consider before undertaking the process. There are four main components of the experimental system and each should be thoroughly vetted in light of the others: the animal, the physical containment system, the media/water, and lighting. The system should further be designed to meet stringent experimental design factors such as numbers of treatments, replication of treatments, and sample size that will result in statistically sound data. This treatise provides guidance which fosters sound design, provides insight into possible materials and approaches to develop a functional system, and a means of handling corals for use in the test system"--Summary.
