Pou kèk espès koray ak branch oswa morfoloji trilope (tankou Acropora, Pocilliopora, Orbicella), souvan fwagmantasyon ka bay popilasyon popilasyon ki trè klonal (oswa jenetikman idantik) nan kèk kote. Gamèt ki soti nan de paran koloni ki se menm klonaj yo pa pral fètilize, se konsa kolekte gamèt ki soti nan popilasyon trè klon pral gen chans bay bon pousantaj fètilizasyon. Pou rezon sa a, konesans nan estrikti klonaj se itil, men si li pa disponib, tou senpleman evite fè tout koleksyon ki sòti nan yon "lyann" oswa byen branje koloni branch tankou sa yo gen plis chans yo dwe klon. Si gen enkyetid sou klonalite segondè, gamèt yo ka kolekte epi melanje soti nan koloni ki omwen XN apa oswa nan sit ki tou pre si resous lojistik pèmèt.

For some coral species with branching or lobed morphologies (such as Acropora, Pocilliopora, Orbicella), frequent fragmentation may yield parent populations that are highly clonal (or genetically identical) in some locations. Gametes from two parent colonies that are the same clone will not fertilize, so collecting gametes from highly clonal populations will likely yield low fertilization rates. For this reason, knowledge of clonal structure is helpful, but if not available, simply avoid making all collections from a ‘thicket’ or closely clumped branching colonies as these are more likely to be clones. If there are concerns about high clonality, gametes may be collected and mixed from colonies that are at least 10 m apart or from nearby sites if logistical resources allow.
