Transcriptomic resilience to heat stress in a wide-spread Acropora coral
The data set consists of whole transcriptome sequences (RNA) and physiological responses of 60 corals to an acute heat stress experiment. These data provide new insight into the... -
Water quality and plankton counts at MMP sites in the Burdekin flood plume,...
This data set contains water quality, conductivity/temperature/depth (CTD) profiles, pigment, phytoplankton and zooplankton counts from sampling undertaken in the Burdekin River... -
Predicting selection–response gradients of heat tolerance in a widespread...
Acropora tenuis colonies were collected from three thermally distinctive reefs and reproductively crossed to create 85 offspring lineages. Experiments in heat tolerance were... -
Coral recruit size-escape thresholds under fish grazing
Algae covered tiles containing week-old and month-old coral recruits of Acropora millepora, Acropora kenti and Goniastrea retiformis were exposed to different types of fish... -

The Coastal Lake Assessment and Management (CLAM) tool allows stakeholders to assess the social, economic and environmental trade-offs associated with development, remediation... -
Coral surveys of Arnhem Land, Northern Territory
Coral communities were surveyed at 15 sites across northern Arnhem Land in 2003.Assessments were made using the following methods:1. making collections and records using SCUBA2.... -
Upwelling and bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef (MTSRF Project 2.5i.2)
As part of MTSRF Task 2.5i.2, a range of indices were investigated to quantify upwelling on the central Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia. These indices are necessary for... -

Surveys of benthic habitats and zonation in Florence Bay, Magnetic Island,...
In April 1989, the marine habitat at Florence Bay, Magnetic Island was surveyed. Initially, manta tows (a snorkeller towed slowly behind a small boat) were made to provide an... -
White Syndrome Coral pathogens in the Indo-Pacific
Bacterial isolates were obtained from corals displaying White Syndrome disease signs at 3 sites: Nikko Bay in the Republic of Palau, Nelly Bay in the central Great Barrier Reef... -
Microphytobenthos community production at Great Palm Island, Great Barrier Reef
Production of the microphytobenthos community on a nearshore coral reef in Cannon Bay, Great Palm Island was measured over 7 trips between February 1996 and February 1997.... -
Underway sensors: Enhanced measurements from Ships of Opportunity (SOOP): RV Solander
These datasets are derived from sensors installed on the Australian Institute of Marine Science RV Solander to record along-track (underway) measurements of near-surface water... -
Detrital pathways in Davies Reef lagoon, Great Barrier Reef
Four sampling stations were established in the lagoon at Davies Reef in February 1986. Two stations were located in the shallow zone, immediately behind the reef flat, and two... -
Effects of fish grazing and damselfish territoriality on algal community...
In November 1979, settlement plates made from the coral Pachyseris speciosa, a suitable substratum for algal settlement, were deployed under a series of experimental conditions... -
