Microplastics ingestion and heterotrophy in thermally stressed corals. Ingestion rate data

Figshare 2019

Summary

This dataset reports ingestion rates of microplastics and Artemia (brine shrimp) by two thermally stressed coral species — Montipora capitata and Pocillopora damicornis — determined by dissection. The data supports research on how thermal stress affects the feeding behavior and microplastic uptake of reef-building corals.

Ingestion rates determined by dissection for number of microplastics and Artemia ingested per 200 polyps by Montipora capitata and Pocillopora damicornis. 4 separate files: micorplastics ingestion by M. capitata; microplastics ingestion by P. damicornis; Artemia ingestion by M. capitata; Artemia ingestion by P. damicornis.
