Seawater for the experiment was collected from the AIMS jetty (19°16'38.4"S 147°03'32.1"E) in December 2020 and subsequently used in a 48-h exposure experiment. Water quality measurements (dissolved oxygen, pH and salinity) and water samples for nutrients (dissolved organic / inorganic carbon and nitrogen) were taken at 0-h and 48-h, following standard AIMS procedures. Representative water samples from the nominal experimental treatments (0, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300 and 1000 µg L-1) were sent to Townsville Laboratory Services for dissolved copper quantification. Data was entered into excel. For full methodological and analytical details please refer to the full research publication, Thomas et al.
