Lab-based evaluation of reef sediments as a stony coral tissue loss disease vector 2020-11-13 to 2020-12-08 (NCEI Accession 0243656)

browse graphicPreview graphic
Coral fragments from three presumed genotypes of Orbicella faveolata and two presumed genotypes of Montastraea cavernosa collected from the field were monitored over the course of one month in one of four treatments in experimental aquaria at the University of Miami: healthy sediment, disease contact control, communal diseased sediment, acute diseased sediment. Time to transmission of disease in days and gross symptoms of disease transmission were recorded during the observation period and are included in this dataset. Images of the corals used to aid in assessment are not included in this data package.

Supplemental Information
Sampling locations represent the seawall along Slip 8 on Fisher Island where the coral were collected from as part of an environmental impact assessment prior to reconstruction of the slip.
Purpose These data were collected to conduct a statistically-robust experiment to determine whether reef sediments can transmit Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) from diseased to healthy corals, without direct coral-to-coral contact. This project is especially relevant given the current effort to better understand SCTLD transmission vectors and slow or stop its spread.
