Title: Dissepiment counts obtained from staining experiment of Porites coral from Palau from 2013-11-04 to 2015-01-10 (NCEI Accession 0277431)
Abstract: This dataset contains physical data collected at WHOI during deployment lab_Cohen_deCarlo in the Philippine Sea from 2013-11-04 to 2015-01-10. These data include density. The instruments used to collect these data include Microscope-Optical. These data were collected by Anne L Cohen of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Can Coral Reefs in the Central Pacific Survive Ocean Warming? A 2015 El Niño Test (Coral Reef Resilience)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
During 27–28 April 2013, twenty Porites colonies living at 1–5 m depths in the Republic of Palau were stained with alizarin red-S dye. We stained 20 colonies, 10 each in Nikko Bay (7.323N, 134.494E) and on Uchelbeluu reef (7.267N, 134.521E). Ten of the 20 colonies initially stained were located during subsequent sampling expeditions but we were unable to locate the ten remaining colonies, likely because either the tags or the colonies themselves were dislodged during storms. The skeletons of nine of the 20 stained colonies were located and sampled twice, on 4 November 2013 and 9–10 January 2015, to measure the number of dissepiments formed over time.

Dissepiments were counted in stained Porites corals to determine the frequency of dissepiment formation. Skeletal cores were extracted from living colonies previously stained with alizarin dye. The cores were sectioned and polished, and dissepiments were counted from microscope images.
