Brief description
This collection consists of a series of data sets assessing the sensitivity of 1-week-old (aposymbiotic) and 2-month-old (symbiotic) recruits of the coral Acropora millepora to the dissolved fraction of a commonly used heavy fuel oil under two light conditions: visible light in the absence of ultraviolet radiation and visible light in the presence of ultraviolet radiation. Data was collected on the sensitivity of recruit survival, growth, algal symbiont uptake, tissue colour, maximum quantum yield as well as latent survival and growth through laboratory experiments performed at the Australian Institute of Marine Science Townsville site following the December mass coral spawning event in 2017. The data was analysed using Bayesian dose-response modelling using the package bayesnec in the software R. For full methodological and analytical details please refer to the full research report, Nordbord et al. (2022) its supplementary materials and the associated GitHub repository (https://github.com/MNordborg/Nordborg-et-al.-2022-Recruit-HFO). Photographs collected before, during and after exposure of 1-week-old aposymbiotic recruits of the coral Acropora millepora as well as before, during and after exposure of 2-month-old (symbiotic) recruits of the coral Acropora millepora are available on request.Lineage
