This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected in the Caribbean Sea from 2014-09-20 to 2014-09-22. These data include species. The instruments used to collect these data include Temperature Logger. These data were collected by Nicole Fogarty of Nova Southeastern University as part of the "Collaborative research: Is hybridization among threatened Caribbean coral species the key to their survival or the harbinger of their extinction? (Coral Hybridization)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-01-20.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Histological analysis of Caribbean acroporid corals before and after exposure to thermal stress.

Dataset Description:
A pilot project was conducted in the St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands to examine the effects of thermal stress on the three acroporid taxon.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Two 10 cm fragments (1 for control tank and 1 for treatment tank) from five colonies of each acroporid taxon were collected from Flat Cay the day prior to the experiment and left under ambient temperature conditions overnight. Tissue samples (2cm) were collected immediately prior to and immediately after the experiment and preserved in a Z-Fix Concentrate: seawater (1:4) solution. One fragment (putative genotype) from each taxon was placed in a control tank (n=5) and one was placed in a treatment tanks (n=5). Powerheads that were slightly tilted out of the water to provide aeration and water movement were placed in all tanks. The ambient tanks were placed in a large tank with constant flowing seawater that served as a water bath. The five treatment tanks, each with an individual heater, were place in a neighboring large tank with no running seawater. All tanks were under a covered porch, but exposed to ambient light conditions.

A Hobo temperature logger was placed in each tank and a water temperature measurement was collected every 30 seconds. The control tanks ranged from 27.5 to 29.4C with an average of 28.2C and the heated tanks ranged from 29.1 to 32.7C with an average of 31.3C over the 48 hour experimental period.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
