Impacts of heavy fuel oil on recruits of the coral Acropora millepora

This collection consists of a series of data sets assessing the sensitivity of 1-week-old (aposymbiotic) and 2-month-old (symbiotic) recruits of the coral Acropora millepora to the dissolved fraction of a commonly used heavy fuel oil under two light conditions: visible light in the absence of ultraviolet radiation and visible light in the presence of ultraviolet radiation. Data was collected on the sensitivity of recruit survival, growth, algal symbiont uptake, tissue colour, maximum quantum yield as well as latent survival and growth through laboratory experiments performed at the Australian Institute of Marine Science Townsville site following the December mass coral spawning event in 2017. The data was analysed using Bayesian dose-response modelling using the package bayesnec in the software R.

Photographs collected before, during and after exposure of 1-week-old aposymbiotic recruits of the coral Acropora millepora as well as before, during and after exposure of 2-month-old (symbiotic) recruits of the coral Acropora millepora are available on request.

本数据集集合包含多组子数据集，用于评估千孔鹿角珊瑚（Acropora millepora）1周龄无共生体（aposymbiotic）幼体与2月龄有共生体（symbiotic）幼体，在两种光照条件下对常用重质燃料油溶解组分的敏感性：无紫外线辐射的可见光条件，以及含紫外线辐射的可见光条件。相关数据采集自2017年12月珊瑚大规模产卵事件后，于澳大利亚海洋科学研究所汤斯维尔基地开展的室内实验，涵盖幼体存活率、生长状况、藻类共生体定殖率、组织颜色、最大量子产率（maximum quantum yield）以及潜在存活与生长等敏感性指标。本数据采用R软件中的bayesnec数据包，通过贝叶斯剂量反应模型完成分析。
