Branch extension measurements from a clipping experiment conducted on the coral Antillogorgia elisabethae at two sites in the Bahamas determined from June 1999 to June 2000

Abstract

This dataset results from an experiment in which colonies of the coral Antillogorgia elisabethae were clipped to simulate harvesting/disturbance at 2 sites in the Bahamas, one at Great Abaco and another at San Salvador Island. This dataset includes branch extension measurements for colonies that were clipped to 10 or 4 branches or not clipped. Version 2 of this dataset, created on 2023-11-08, includes a correction to the latitude of the Abaco site.

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/872600
