These data were obtained during an experiment performed in August-September-October 2011 and 2012 in French Polynesia. Calcification rates were measured in 8 algae (Porolithon onkodes, Lithophyllum flavescens, Halimeda macroloba, Halimeda minima, Hydrolithon reinboldii, Lithophyllum kotschyanum, Amphiroa fragilissima, Neogoniolithon frutescens) at 6 pCO2.
