This collection consists of a series of data sets assessing the sensitivity of planula larvae of the coral Acropora millepora to dissolved, individual aromatic compounds 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 larval survival, larval fragmentation and larval metamorphosis success through laboratory experiments performed at the Australian Institute of Marine Science Townsville site during the mass coral spawning events in November and December of 2016-2019. The data was analysed using Bayesian dose-response modelling using the package bayesnec in the software R.

Parameters in this study: Larval survival, Larval fragmentation, Larval metamorphosis success
