The precious octocoral, Corallium rubrum, endemic to the Mediterranean, has long been overexploited. A demographic approach to the conservation and management of this species would therefore be highly valuable. To this end, a coastal population of red coral was studied in detail. The population represents a true "genetic unit", as it is mainly "self-seeding". It is moreover gonocoric, and the sex ratio is significantly biased toward females. For this study, 4408 colonies, collected from 28, 300-cm2 samples, were divided into 10 size (age) classes. Recruits represent about half the population. The frequency of colonies in each class decreases exponentially with colony size. On these bases, an "ad hoc" life histo...
