Experimental effects of ocean acidification and warming on coral

Created 24/06/2025

Updated 24/06/2025

This data is from an aquarium experiment conducted at the AIMS Townsville facility investigating the combined effects of ocean acidification and warming on coral health. Coral growth and protein content, as well as symbiont pigments and photophysiology, were measured after two months exposure to the experimental treatments.
This data has been published in the below manuscript: Noonan SHC and Fabricius KE (2016). Ocean acidification affects productivity but not the severity of thermal bleaching in some tropical corals. ICES Journal of Marine Science 73 (3): 715 – 726
