Abstract

This dataset contains absorbance at 3 wavelengths from pigment extractions of coral Orbicella faveolata, the results of the preliminary analysis of the optical descriptors calculated for each coral fragment of the species Orbicella faveolata used in the transplant experiment between three sites: Varadero (10°18'23.3"N, 75°35'08.0"W), Rosario (10°11'12.1"N, 75°44'43.0"W) and Abanico (10°18'5.80"N, 75°34'37.10"W). The tag number/color of each fragment, the date of data collection, and the sites of...
