This dataset includes coral counts at discrete time periods for each treatment: for the larval mortality assay, living coral larvae were counted at the experiment start (t=0) and end (t=48) of the 48-hour experiment; for the larval settlement assay, living coral larvae were counted at the experiment start (t=0), and throughout the 7-day experiment duration (t=48, t=72, t=96, t=144), and were counted according to their specific developmental morphologies at the experiment end (t=144). All larval mortality experiments were performed at the Florida Bay Interagency Science Center (Key Largo, FL); larval settlement experiments were performed at the NOAA Hollings Marine Laboratory (Charleston, SC). Acropora cervicornis larvae were obtained from the University of North Carolina Wilmington Reproduction and Evolutionary Ecology- Fogarty Lab in September 2022; Orbicella faveolata larvae were obtained from wild-caught spawn (North Dry Rocks Reef, Florida Keys) collected by the NOAA Southeast Fisheries Center in August 2022. Results from these experiments indicate that the three tested pesticides did not have any significant impact on larval survival or settlement behavior in the tested species. The purpose of this project is to provide data on the health of listed coral species and the condition of their habitat/ environment related to toxicity and any resulting reproductive impairments. This was designed to address priorities R3.2 and R3.3 within the CRCP Restoration Pillar, prioritized in NOAA’s response to the National Academy of Sciences reports, the Acropora Recovery Implementation Plan, and priorities within the CRCP Land-Based Sources of Pollution (LBSP) Pillar L1.2 to provide technical and scientific support to management agencies in establishing water quality targets. This work is funded under Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) project #1133: Coral Disease and Health Consortium (CDHC): Diagnostic Metrics, Epidemiology and Capacity Building. The CDHC, created by the Coral Reef Task Force (CRTF) (2001) to focus on coral health issues, became an official working group of the CRTF in 2006. This is an international network of expertise to understand the effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors on corals to help protect and conserve coral reefs. The CDHC is unique in CRCP, drawing from public health and medicine to address coral conservation challenges. Activities of the CDHC cross-cut multiple Pillars because each represents important physical, chemical, and biological interactions that influence coral health and disease outcomes.

For A. cervicornis, the live embryos were transferred from the test vial onto a glass plate lined with parafilm for imaging immediately after 48 hours without fixing so that the assay could be extended further into development to assess any sublethal effects to settlement behavior.; Data Quality Method: n/a asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI.
