Methods & Sampling

Larvae were collected from Antillogorgia bipinnata colonies that were maintained in seawater tables at the Keys Marine Lab on Long Key, FL. Antillogorgia bipinnata colonies were initially collected from Tennessee Reef (N 24° 45.150' W 81° 45.275').

Breviolum antillogorgium cultures, representing five genotypes, were used to infect polyps reared from larvae collected from A. bipinnata. Three cultures had been grown at 26-degree C since isolation in 2016 (G1 [16-0590F], G2 [16-0875] and G3 [16-1631]) and two had been grown at 30-degree C since isolation in 2016 (G4 [16-0587] and G5 [16-0763]). Polyps from all treatments were reared at both 26 and 30 degree C in the lab under 12:12 light dark cycles. Containers with polyps were inoculated on Day 1 and Day 5. Starting on Day 32, containers were inoculated three times a week with water changes. Polyp locations in the containers were mapped and survival monitored every 3-4 days.

Data Processing Description

Survivorship was determined based on the number of polyps present within a given container divided by the initial number of polyps within that container.

Presence/absence of the polyps was assessed visual using a Leica dissecting microscope.

No BCO-DMO processing notes.
