Title:

NCCOS Assessment: Chronic Turbidity Differentially Affects Physiological Processes in Two Threatened Caribbean, Atlantic Stony Coral Species from 2022-09-09 to 2022-12-06 (NCEI Accession 0292544)

Abstract:

This dataset contains results from 12-week laboratory turbidity exposures on two species of threatened stony corals, Acropora cervicornis (ACER) and Orbicella faveolata (OFAV). Experiments were conducted between 9/13/2022 and 12/6/2022. We measured endpoints (tissue regeneration, total lipids, total soluble protein, dry weight, symbiont chlorophyll a fluorescence and zooxanthellae numbers in gastrodermal tissues) and compared corals exposed to artificial seawater (control) to artificial seawater with sediment at 15 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU). We also measured sediment particle sizes within the treatment solutions. Corals were imaged throughout the exposure trials to document changes over time. Raw data are in image (.tif) format with results documented in spreadsheet format.
