Abstract

Understanding the response of the coral holobiont to environmental change is crucial to inform conservation efforts. The most pressing problem is “coral bleaching,” usually precipitated by prolonged thermal stress. This dataset spans a five week thermal stress experiment in which images were taken of coral individuals and analyzed for a "color score".

From the waters of Kāne‘ohe Bay, HI, four colonies of each coral species M. capitata and P. acuta were identified and collected under SAP 2019-60. Each of the four colonies for each species was fragmented into 30 pieces at the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology, located on Moku o Loʻe in Kāne‘ohe Bay, HI, and hot-glued to labeled plugs. (21N 157 W ; depth 1m).
