Abstract

Lethal disease remains a major hurdle to species recovery and to long term sustainabily of population enhancement efforts for Caribbean Acropora spp. This dataset gives results of field-based direct contact challenge assays to discern relative disease resistance among cultured genotypes of A.palmata and A.cervicornis in three Florida in situ coral nurseries.

Purpose

To quantify relative disease resistance among cultured stocks of Caribbean Acropora spp. corals
