Lab-based evaluation of reef sediments as a stony coral tissue loss disease vector 2020-11-13 to 2020-12-08 (NCEI Accession 0243656)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 02:52 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 06, 2021 at 12:00 AM
Coral fragments from three presumed genotypes of Orbicella faveolata and two presumed genotypes of Montastraea cavernosa collected from the field were monitored over the course of one month in one of four treatments in experimental aquaria at the University of Miami: healthy sediment, disease contact control, communal diseased sediment, acute diseased sediment. Time to transmission of disease in days and gross symptoms of disease transmission were recorded during the observation period and are included in this dataset. Images of the corals used to aid in assessment are not included in this data package.
