Video-assisted grabbing:a minimally destructive method of sampling azooxanthellate coral banks
Traditional techniques used to sample azooxanthellate coral banks by dredge and trawl cause extensive impact to both the corals and surrounding seabed. Modern sampling techniques using submersibles and remotely operated vehicles cause ver); little or no damage, but are expensive and require speciali...
