©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Results from experiment examining effects of 4 different dyes on growth rates of scleractinian corals; from the Cohen lab at WHOI in Woods Hole, MA.
This dataset contains results from an experiment in which four dyes (alizarin, alizarin complexone, calcein, and oxytetracycline) were used to mark corals of the species Astrangia poculata to assess the effect of the dye on coral growth. See the "coral growth isotope spike experiment" dataset for results from marking experiments using one of two isotope spikes (Ba 135 and Sr 86).
