assisted acclimatization

Explanation: Gradually increasing water temperature to precondition corals is an assisted acclimatization (or preconditioning/hardening) approach — it induces physiological tolerance within individuals rather than relocating them (assisted migration) or breeding for heritable traits (selective breeding).
