Physiology color score extracted from pictures taken during a heatwave experiment done September to November 2018 using reef building corals collected in Kāne'ohe Bay, O'ahu, Hawai'i.

Abstract:

Two common reef-building corals, Montipora capitata and Pocillopora acuta, were subjected to a extended heatwave scenario. Fragments were allowed to acclimate in experimental tanks for two weeks prior to exposure to one of the following four treatments: Ambient Temperature Ambient pCO2 (ATAC), Ambient Temperature High pCO2 (ATHC), High Temperature Ambient pCO2 (HTAC), and High Temperature High pCO2 (HTHC). The treatment period lasted for a two month period, starting on September 22nd, 2018 and lasting through November 17th, 2018. Following the stress period, coral fragments were exposed to a two-month recovery period in ambient conditions. Throughout the entire four-month experiment, photos of the coral individuals were taken to extract a "color score". This dataset contains the processed data to calculate "color score" values.

Methods & Sampling

Corals sampled at six reefs within Kāne'ohe Bay, O'ahu, Hawai'i:

1.) USA: Hawaii HIMB: 21.436056, -157.786861
2.) USA: Hawaii Reef.11.13: 21.450806, -157.794944
3.) USA: Hawaii Reef.35.36: 21.473889, -157.833667
4.) USA: Hawaii Reef.18: 21.450806, -157.811139
5.) USA: Hawaii Lilipuna.Fringe: 21.429417, -157.791111
6.) USA: Hawaii Reef.42.43: 21.477194, -157.826889

Experiment conducted at the Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology.

To assess tissue color change over time, each fragment was photographed once a week (16 timepoints in 4 month experimental setup) with a red, blue, green color standard ruler.

Data Processing Description

ImageJ® (version 1.51) was used to extract the mean blue, green, and red color score for each coral fragment and these values were normalized to the mean of the red, blue, and green color standards. The color score was quantified as Principal Component 1 from principal component analysis (PCA) sensu (Edmunds, Gates and Gleason, 2003).

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
* Added latitude and longitude of reef locations to the dataset
