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.

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
