Symbiont Symbiodinium density in brooded coral larvae at high and ambient temperature and pCO2, Taiwan, March 2011 (Cumbo et al, JEMBE, 2013) (MCR LTER & Climate Coral Larvae projects)

Abstract:

The physiological development of brooded larvae from the pocilloporid corals Pocillopora damicornis in southern Taiwan under elevated temperature and pCO2 was examined. These data include symbiont Symbiodinium density in brooded coral larvae at high and ambient temperature and pCO2 conducted in March 2011. These data were published in Cumbo et al, JEMBE, 2013.

Methods & Sampling

Symbiodinium densities were determined by preserving 2 groups of 6 larvae fromeach tank (one from each tub) in 100 uL of 10% formalin in FSW, and macerating them with a Teflon pestle. The Symbiodinium in the slurry were counted using a hemocytometer (4 replicate counts) and the algal density expressed as cells mg protein-1. Preliminary analyses demonstrated that the mean and SE of the Symbiodinium counts stabilized at 4 replicate counts, and therefore additional replicate counts were not considered necessary. Quality control was conducted by screening the data for cases where the SE of the counts was >20% of the mean, and in rare cases where this occurred, counts were repeated.

The 'ambient' and 'high' pCO2 levels: 49.4 Pa versus 86.2 Pa
The 'ambient' and 'high' temperatures: 24.00 °C [ambient] versus 30.49 °C

LI-COR LI-192 PAR Sensor

Supplied Name: LI-COR LI-192 light sensor

Supplied Description:

cosine-corrected quantum light meter (Li-Cor LI-192 attached to an LI-1400)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: LI-COR LI-192 PAR Sensor

Acronym: LI-COR LI-192 PAR

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0120/

Generic Description:

The LI-192 Underwater Quantum Sensor (UWQ) measures underwater or atmospheric Photon Flux Density (PPFD) (Photosynthetically Available Radiation from 360 degrees) using a Silicon Photodiode and glass filters encased in a waterproof housing. The LI-192 is cosine corrected and features corrosion resistant, rugged construction for use in freshwater or saltwater and pressures up to 800 psi (5500 kPa, 560 meters depth). Typical output is in um s-1 m-2. The LI-192 uses computer-tailored filter glass to achieve the desired quantum response. Calibration is traceable to NIST. The LI-192 serial numbers begin with UWQ-XXXXX. LI-COR has been producing Underwater Quantum Sensors since 1973.

These LI-192 sensors are typically listed as LI-192SA to designate the 2-pin connector on the base of the housing and require an Underwater Cable (LI-COR part number 2222UWB) to connect to the pins on the Sensor and connect to a data recording device.

The LI-192 differs from the LI-193 primarily in sensitivity and angular response.
193: Sensitivity: Typically 7 uA per 1000 umol s-1 m-2 in water. Azimuth: < ± 3% error over 360° at 90° from normal axis. Angular Response: < ± 4% error up to ± 90° from normal axis.
192: Sensitivity: Typically 4 uA per 1000 umol s-1 m-2 in water. Azimuth: < ± 1% error over 360° at 45° elevation. Cosine Correction: Optimized for underwater and atmospheric use.
