When a specimen has died, been sold, or moved to conservation, you record this during an Update Coral action on the Coral Traceability Solution (CTS) mobile app. The specimen is then marked inactive and removed from your active inventory. You start from the Update Coral tile.
To start an Update Coral action and to record growth instead, see How do I update coral on the CTS mobile app?
Set the specimen status
After you scan the specimen on the Inventory update screen, use the Update status dropdown. To remove a specimen from your active inventory, choose one of these statuses:
Deceased
Sold domestically
Sold as ornamental
Conservation
The same dropdown also has Update status (for recording growth and measurements on a specimen you are keeping) and Reactivate (to return an inactive specimen to your active inventory).
Optionally add a mortality reason
If you select Deceased, a Describe mortality reason field appears. You can optionally type a reason (for example, 'Bleaching due to elevated water temperature'), or leave it blank.
Finalise and what happens
Tap Update coral to save. A confirmation notification appears (for example, 'Batch updated!'). The specimen's inventory status becomes Inactive and it no longer appears in the active inventory list. You can view this on the web app in the Product List.
