English term or phrase: mesh tent
There are two approaches to obtaining supplies of larvae. Either mature colonies of planulating or broadcast spawning species can be collected and held in aquaria until they release planulae or gametes respectively, or, for broadcasters, slicks of millions of coral larvae can be collected from the sea surface at one or two well-defined times of year. These slicks can either be held in situ or transferred to ex situ aquaria.

In the first case, slicks can be stored in floating culture ponds in the sea (even plastic paddling pools appear adequate) for about a week by which time most larvae are ready and able to settle onto the reef (this condition is referred to as “competent”). At this point, they can be pumped down into ///mesh tents/// on the degraded reef and allowed to settle in high densities. The mesh tents are to prevent them being washed off the reef by currents. With such techniques you can achieve around 100 times the amount of coral settlement that you might expect naturally. However, a large unknown is whether this makes any significant difference in the long-term because so very few of these newly settled corals will survive to become mature reproductive colonies and mortality may be density- dependent.

Mesh tent or mesh enclosure.
