Dataset: Fecundity and oocyte sizes of Acropora cervicornis genotypes measured July 2020 at Mote Marine Lab

This dataset is part of a larger study of Acropora cervicornis (staghorn) corals studied at Mote Marine Lab’s Elizabeth Moore International Center for Coral Reef Research and Restoration. We present dissection information on the sizes of oocytes measured from five randomly chosen oocytes for each of five replicate polpys from three fragments of five colonies containing 12 different genets of Acropora cervicornis held in Mote Marine Laboratory's Sand Key spawing nursery.

The project's additional analyses are listed here, and links to other data from this study can be found in the Related Datasets section below.

Analyses undertaken include:

1. Total Population (Colony size dataset)
2. Morphometric Assessment (Colony size dataset)
3. Primary Fecundity Analysis (Colony size dataset's population subset, Polyps dataset)
4. Dissections (this dataset; plus Oocyte number dataset)
5. Secondary Fecundity Analysis (Gamete bundle dataset)
