Methods & Sampling

Water quality was monitored as part of a full factorial experiment to determine the survival probability and photochemical efficiency of 25 unique genotypes of Acropora cervicornis in November and December 2019. Coral fragments of A. cervicornis were exposed to high temperatures and/or high pCO2 treatments in flow-through tanks at Mote Marine Laboratory.

During the exposure period, water quality for each tank was measured daily and color index of the coral fragments was assessed. Treatment tank water quality was monitored using a YSI Professional Plus (Pro Plus) Multi-parameter handheld with a quarto containing a Pro Series Galvanic Dissolved Oxygen Sensor, a Pro Series pH Sensor (calibrated using 4, 7, and 10 buffers), and a Pro Series temperature and conductivity sensor. PAR was measured using the Licor handheld (Li-COR LI-1500) with an underwater quantum senor (Li-Cor LI-192). Imaging-PAM Chlorophyll flurometer (Walz GmbH, Effeltrich, Germany) was used to measure photochemical efficiencies and the coral health chart/ color index card was provided by CoralWatch.

Instruments

Aquarium

Supplied Name: treatment tank

Supplied Description:

Aquaria water quality was measured in tanks used for coral treatment experiments

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Aquarium

Generic Description:

Aquarium - a vivarium consisting of at least one transparent side in which water-dwelling plants or animals are kept

Fluorometer

Supplied Name: Walz imaging pulse amplitude modulation chlorophyll fluorometer

Supplied Description:

Photochemical efficiencies in coral fragments were measured using an Imaging Pulse Amplitude Modulation (I-PAM) Chlorophyll fluorometer from Walz GmbH (Effeltrich, Germany)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic Description:

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.

LI-COR LI-192 PAR Sensor

Supplied Name: LI-COR LI-192 underwater quantum sensor

Supplied Description:

PAR was measured using the Licor handheld (Li-COR LI-1500) with an underwater quantum senor (Li-Cor LI-192).

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.

Photosynthetically Available Radiation Sensor

Supplied Name: LI-COR handheld (Li-COR LI-1500)

Supplied Description:

PAR was measured using the Licor handheld (Li-COR LI-1500) with an underwater quantum senor (Li-Cor LI-192).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Photosynthetically Available Radiation Sensor

Acronym: PAR sensor

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/122/

Generic Description:

A PAR sensor measures photosynthetically available (or active) radiation. The sensor measures photon flux density (photons per second per square meter) within the visible wavelength range (typically 400 to 700 nanometers). PAR gives an indication of the total energy available to plants for photosynthesis. This instrument name is used when specific type, make and model are not known.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: YSI Professional Plus Multi-Parameter Probe

Acronym: YSI ProPlus

Generic Description:

The YSI Professional Plus handheld multiparameter meter provides for the measurement of a variety of combinations for dissolved oxygen, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, resistivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, ORP, pH/ORP combination, ammonium (ammonia), nitrate, chloride and temperature.
