Airbrushing

Airbrushed all 32 corals collected for the May 2022 Pocillopora characterization thermal performance curve experiments to determine physiological status using the physiological protocols listed here.

Aliquoting

After airburshing and freezing the samples in a -40 C freezer, July 2022 samples were aliquoted following the aliquoting steps at the end of the airbrushing protocol for samples that will be used for symbiont densities, chlorophyll content, symbiont total protein, host total protein, and tissue biomass.

Symbiont counts

Started symbiont counts following the Symbiont density protocol for 40 corals collected in June 2022. All data and statistics were uploaded to the Gametogenesis Project Google Drive folder and the Gametogenesis Timeseries GitHub.
