Settling and mortality measurements of brooded coral larvae at high and ambient temperature and pCO2, Taiwan, March 2011 (MCR LTER project, Climate_Coral_Larvae project)

Abstract:

The physiological development of brooded larvae from the pocilloporid corals Pocillopora damicornis in southern Taiwan under elevated temperature and pCO2 was examined. These data include settling and mortality rates of brooded coral larvae at high and ambient temperature and pCO2 conducted in March 2011. These data were published in Cumbo et al, JEMBE, 2013.

Methods & Sampling

Survival of the two groups of 20 larvae allocated to each tank for this purpose was determined at 10:00 h each sampling day by carefully removing the tubs from each tank and inspecting the seawater for larvae. Larvae were scored as swimming, settled and metamorphosed recruits (on the plastic of the tub), or missing; missing larvae were assumed to have died and broken down. Survivorship was calculated as the number of swimming larvae on each of the four days, divided by the number of larvae initially added, less the number that settled. Settled larvae (i.e., recruits)were removed from the analysis on the day they were noted as settled because the objective of the analysis was to evaluate survivorship of the swimming larvae. Importantly, recruits did not contribute to the larvae scored as dead, but they did reduce the sample size for the assessment of survival at each sampling interval; this effect was small.

The 'ambient' and 'high' pCO2 levels: 49.4 Pa versus 86.2 Pa
The 'ambient' and 'high' temperatures: 24.00 °C [ambient] versus 30.49 °C

LI-COR LI-192 PAR Sensor

Supplied Name: LI-COR LI-192 light sensor

Supplied Description:

cosine-corrected quantum light meter (Li-Cor LI-192 attached to an LI-1400)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: LI-COR LI-192 PAR Sensor

Acronym: LI-COR LI-192 PAR

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0120/

Generic Description:

The LI-192 Underwater Quantum Sensor (UWQ) measures underwater or atmospheric Photon Flux Density (PPFD) (Photosynthetically Available Radiation from 360 degrees) using a Silicon Photodiode and glass filters encased in a waterproof housing. The LI-192 is cosine corrected and features corrosion resistant, rugged construction for use in freshwater or saltwater and pressures up to 800 psi (5500 kPa, 560 meters depth). Typical output is in um s-1 m-2. The LI-192 uses computer-tailored filter glass to achieve the desired quantum response. Calibration is traceable to NIST. The LI-192 serial numbers begin with UWQ-XXXXX. LI-COR has been producing Underwater Quantum Sensors since 1973.

These LI-192 sensors are typically listed as LI-192SA to designate the 2-pin connector on the base of the housing and require an Underwater Cable (LI-COR part number 2222UWB) to connect to the pins on the Sensor and connect to a data recording device.

The LI-192 differs from the LI-193 primarily in sensitivity and angular response.
193: Sensitivity: Typically 7 uA per 1000 umol s-1 m-2 in water. Azimuth: < ± 3% error over 360° at 90° from normal axis. Angular Response: < ± 4% error up to ± 90° from normal axis.
192: Sensitivity: Typically 4 uA per 1000 umol s-1 m-2 in water. Azimuth: < ± 1% error over 360° at 45° elevation. Cosine Correction: Optimized for underwater and atmospheric use.
