Abstract
As a secondary assessment of fecundity, colonies of Acropora cerviconis (various genets) were taken to Mote Marine Laboratory in August 2020 for spawning and ex situ assisted sexual reproduction. From genets that spawned, forty random gamete bundles were collected during spawning and the total number of eggs and sperm per bundle were quantified. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/868493
