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) July to September of 2017.

Methods & Sampling

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.
