“…More sophisticated modeling approaches are needed for an exact description of species specific coral growth kinetics. For example, Crabbe ( 2007 ) reported that a 3:3 rational polynomial model described the growth of a branching species ( Acropora palmata ) more accurately than the simple first-order kinetics model represented by Eq. 2 .…”

To protect natural coral reefs, it is of utmost importance to understand how the growth of the main reef-building organisms—the zooxanthellate scleractinian corals—is controlled. Understanding coral growth is also relevant for coral aquaculture, which is a rapidly developing business. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of factors that can influence the growth of zooxanthellate scleractinian corals, with particular emphasis on interactions between these factors. Furthermore, the kinetic principles underlying coral growth are discussed. The reviewed information is put into an economic perspective by making an estimation of the costs of coral aquaculture.
