Title: Acropora cervicornis growth rates under different pH and temperature treatments from experiments at Summerland Key, Florida in September of 2016 (NCEI Accession 0278860)
Abstract: This dataset contains chemical and physical data collected at Mote Offshore Coral Nursery during deployment Muller_Looe_Key_Reef_Acropora from 2016-06-01 to 2016-09-01. These data include pH and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include YSI Professional Plus Multi-Parameter Probe and pH Sensor. These data were collected by Dr Erinn Muller of Mote Marine Laboratory as part of the "CAREER: Applying phenotypic variability to identify resilient Acropora cervicornis genotypes in the Florida Keys (Resilient Acerv)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-10-18.

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

Growth rates of Acropora cervicornis

Dataset Description:
This dataset contains Acropora cervicornis buoyant weight measurements from different pH and temperature treatments. The experiments were conducted in tanks at Summerland Key, Florida (24.6616,-81.4538) with corals from a nursery located near Looe Key Reef (24.5636, -81.2786). Experiments were conducted from July to September of 2016.

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
A 5 gallon aquaria was filled with treatment water conditions and an analytical balance was suspended over the aquaria using a solid wooden board with a hole cut through the middle. Corals were placed on a suspended structure that was attached underneath an analytical balance and held until the total buoyant weight was stable. The data was recorded each month for each fragment. Photographs were also taken to determine the surface area of the coral using ImageJ analysis.
