NCCOS Assessment: Investigating the effects of chronic turbidity exposure to priority Florida coral species, Acropora cervicornis 2023-08-15 to 2023-11-07 (NCEI Accession 0309260)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-11-10T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset is comprised of many biochemical analyses performed throughout the course of a 90-day laboratory exposure experiments to determine the chronic effects of fine-sediment generated turbidity on the health of Acropora cervicornis coral nubbins. Biological endpoints such as photographs, buoyant weight and PAM fluorometry measurements were performed weekly, while tissue regeneration post-wounding, dry weight, total lipids and total proteins were calculated at the end of the 90 day exposure.
