Abstract
⺠We introduce a method for buoyant weight measurement of corals under water. ⺠Corals are transplanted with minimal impact onto PVC-plates using epoxy resin. ⺠Weight is measured with an electronic balance in an underwater housing. ⺠Errors due to coral density variation and of repeated measurements are very low. ⺠Long-term and longitudinal studies of coral growth can be performed.
