[July 2017 Incubation Experiment] - Phytoplankton physiology and composition under temperature-nutrient multi-stressor incubation from July 2017 in Narragansett Bay, RI (Dimensions: Collaborative Research: Genetic, functional and phylogenetic diversity determines marine phytoplankton community responses to changing temperature and nutrients)

Summary:
These data include measurements of phytoplankton physiology and composition from a controlled multi-stressor incubation experiment conducted in July 2017. Whole phytoplankton communities were collected from the Narragansett Bay Long-Term Plankton Time Series site and incubated at the in-situ temperature (22 degrees Celsius) and at deviations from that temperature (±4 degrees Celsius) with both macronutrient amendments (N, P, Si addition) and unamended controls. Phytoplankton growth, abundance, size structure, and elemental composition, as well as microzooplankton grazing rates were measured throughout the incubations. These data improve our understanding of the phytoplankton community response to short-term changes in temperature or nutrients, providing valuable insight into the drivers of marine ecosystems.

[Juvenile Black Sea Bass Laboratory Experiment (2022-2023)] -  (Collaborative research: Understanding the effects of acidification and hypoxia within and across generations in a coastal marine fish)

Summary:
The northern stock of Black sea bass (BSB, Centropristis striata) has greatly expanded over the past decade, potentially due to warming Northwest Atlantic shelf waters affecting overwintering especially in juveniles. To gather better empirical data we quantified winter growth and lipid accumulation in BSB juveniles under a current ambient (2022/2023) seasonal temperature profile for eastern Long Island Sound, USA. Over the course of this study, winter mortality was low (< 16%) and average specific growth rate (SGR) followed seasonal trends (Fall → Winter → Spring) decreasing from 0.15 millimeters per day (mm d-1) (0.97 % wW d-1) to 0.01 mm d-1 (-0.03 % wW d-1), before rising to 0.03 mm d-1 (0.11 %wW d-1).

[Juvenile Black sea bass winter growth and lipid accumulation under varying food and temperature conditions - Experiment 1] - Winter growth and lipid accumulation in juvenile Black sea bass exposed to varying food and temperature conditions during lab experiments conducted from September 2021 to April 2022 at UConn Avery Point (Collaborative research: Understanding the effects of acidification and hypoxia within and across generations in a coastal marine fish)

Summary:
The northern stock of Black sea bass (BSB, Centropristis striata) has greatly expanded over the past decade, potentially due to warming Northwest Atlantic shelf waters affecting overwintering especially in juveniles. To gather better empirical data we quantified winter growth and lipid accumulation in BSB juveniles from Long Island Sound using two complementing experiments. The data from Experiment 1 are presented here.

Experiment 1 measured individual length growth (GR), weight-specific growth (SGR), growth efficiency, and lipid content at constant food and three static temperatures: 6°, 12°, and 19° Celsius (C). Average GR (SGR) decreased from 0.24 millimeters per day (mm d-1) at 19°C (0.89% d-1) to 0.15 mm d-1 at 12°C (0.54% d-1) to 0.04 mm d-1 at 6°C (0.17% d-1). Even at the coldest temperature, most juveniles sustained positive GRs and SGRs; hence, the species' true thermal growth minimum may be below 6°C. However, lipid accumulation was greatest at 12°C, which is close to what overwintering juveniles likely encounter offshore.

The data from Experiment 2 are presented in a related dataset (https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/898012). In both experiments, juveniles disproportionally accumulated lipid over lean mass, with lipid proportions tripling in Exp2 from 4% at 65 mm to 12% at 120 mm.

[Kelletia kelletii Pooled RADseq] - Restriction site-associated DNA sequence metadata of Kelletia kelletii collected in California, USA and Baja, Mexico in 2015 to 2017 (Collaborative Research: RUI: Combined spatial and temporal analyses of population connectivity during a northern range expansion)

Summary:
Climate-driven warming and changes in major ocean currents enable poleward transport and range expansions of many marine species. Here, we report the population genetic structure for the gastropod Kelletia kelletii, a commercial fisheries species and subtidal predator with top-down food web effects, whose populations have recently undergone climate-driven northward range expansion.

This dataset includes sample id, collection site and year, tissue type, length, and extraction information for samples sequenced. We genotyped 598 adults from 13 locations across the species' historical and expanded range (∼800 km) using reduced representation genomic sequencing (RAD-seq). Analyses of 40,747 SNPs show evidence for long-distance larval dispersal of K. kelletii larvae from a central historical range site (Point Loma, CA) hundreds of km into the expanded northern range (Big Creek, CA), which seems most likely to result from transport during an El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event rather than consistent on-going gene flow. Furthermore, despite smaller geographic distances among some sampled expanded-range populations, their genetic divergence exceeds that among the historical range sampled populations, suggesting multiple origins of the expanded-range populations. Given the frequency and magnitude of ENSO events are predicted to increase with climate change, understanding the factors driving changes in population connectivity is crucial for establishing effective management strategies to ensure the persistence of this and other economically and ecologically important species.

[Kelletia kelletii: DNA and RNA sequence] - Full genome and transcriptome sequence assembly of the non-model organism Kellet’s whelk, Kelletia kelletii (Collaborative Research: RUI: Combined spatial and temporal analyses of population connectivity during a northern range expansion)

Summary:
Understanding the genomic characteristics of non-model organisms can bridge research gaps between ecology and evolution. However, the lack of a reference genome and transcriptome for these species makes their study challenging. Here, we complete the first full genome and transcriptome sequence assembly of the non-model organism Kellet's whelk, Kelletia kelletii, a marine gastropod exhibiting a poleward range expansion coincident with climate change. We used a combination of Oxford Nanopore Technologies, PacBio, and Illumina sequencing platforms and integrated a set of bioinformatic pipelines to create the most complete and contiguous genome documented among the Buccinoidea superfamily to date. Genome validation revealed relatively high completeness with low missing metazoan Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs (BUSCO) and an average coverage of ∼70x for all contigs. Genome annotation identified a large number of protein-coding genes similar to some other closely related species, suggesting the presence of a complex genome structure. Transcriptome assembly and analysis of individuals during their period of peak embryonic development revealed highly expressed genes associated with specific Gene Ontology (GO) terms and metabolic pathways, most notably lipid, carbohydrate, glycan, and phospholipid metabolism. We also identified numerous heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the transcriptome and genome that may be related to coping with thermal stress during the sessile life history stage. A robust reference genome and transcriptome for the non-model organism K. kelletii provide resources to enhance our understanding of its ecology and evolution and potential mechanisms of range expansion for marine species facing environmental changes.

[Kelp Wet Weights Pycnopodia Cages] -  (CAREER: Energy fluxes and community stability in a dynamic, high-latitude kelp ecosystem)

Summary:
While the recently decimated predatory sea star, Pycnopodia helianthoides, may support kelp forests by consuming herbivorous sea urchins, less is known about their non-consumptive effects. We conducted a field experiment in three replicate sea urchin barrens in Sitka Sound, Alaska in February of 2023, where we deployed pre-weighed Macrocystis pyrifera blades at discrete distances on four metre radial cables from caged adult P. helianthoides and control cages and reweighed after 24 hours. Our results suggest the chemical cue of P. helianthoides elicits a localised, species-specific landscape of fear that suppresses grazing, and that the non-consumptive effects of P. helianthoides on sea urchin behaviour may be important for kelp restoration.

Summary:
The goal of this dataset was to quantify substrate cover (vegetation or sand) of the benthos surrounding artificial reefs in Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi from August 2022-2023. These surveys were done monthly. We recorded three 5-meter-long video transects, spaced evenly around each artificial reef, starting from each of the three top-layer cinder blocks of the artificial reef, positioned perpendicularly to the cinder block and going outwards into the seagrass meadow. On each video transect, photos were taken continuously starting at the artificial reef. Each photo was imported into ImageJ, where the scale was set based on a 10 cm measure on the transect, and then a virtual 20x20 cm quadrat was laid directly on the right side of the transect. Virtual quadrats were laid consecutively every 20 cm (e.g., a quadrat from each of 0-20 cm, 20-40 cm, 40-60 cm, etc. Then, 20 random points were generated inside each distance bin and classified as sand or vegetation.

[Kāneʻohe Bay Time-series - microbial community] - Flow cytometry, 16S rRNA gene amplicons, chlorophyll a, and surface seawater measurements  taken between August 2017 to June 2019 Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi (Population genomics and ecotypic divergence in the most dominant lineage of marine bacteria)

Summary:
These data include temperature, pH, salinity, chlorophyll a concentrations, cellular abundances of Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, photosynthetic picoeukaryotes, and heterotrophic bacteria, and 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon libraries from 200 surface seawater samples collected as part of the Kāneʻohe Bay Time-series (KByT). Near-monthly sampling of surface seawater was conducted between August 2017 to June 2019 at 10 sites within coastal waters of Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi and in the adjacent offshore. Instruments used were a YSI 6,600 sonde, a Turner 10AU fluorometer, an EPICS ALTRA flow cytometer, and an Illumina MiSeq v2 platform.

These data characterize the partitioning of microbial communities across sharp physiochemical gradients in surface seawaters connecting nearshore and offshore waters in the tropical Pacific. This study provides evidence for the ecological differentiation of SAR11 marine bacteria across nearshore to offshore waters in the tropical Pacific and further increases our understanding of how SAR11 genetic diversity partitions into distinct ecological units.

[Kāneʻohe Bay Time-series - phytoplankton and biogeochemistry] - Biological oceanographic measurements, 16S rRNA gene amplicons and metagenomes from surface seawater taken from August 2017 to June 2021 at sites within and adjacent to Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi (Population genomics and ecotypic divergence in the most dominant lineage of marine bacteria)

Summary:
These data include temperature, pH, salinity, chlorophyll a concentrations, cellular abundances of Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, photosynthetic picoeukaryotes, and heterotrophic bacteria,16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon libraries, metagenomes, inorganic nutrient concentrations, and photosynthetic pigment measurements via high performance liquid chromatography from surface seawater samples collected as part of the Kāneʻohe Bay Time-series (KByT). This dataset reflects near-monthly sampling of surface seawater that was conducted between between August 2017 and June 2021 at 10-12 sites within and adjacent to Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Instruments used were a YSI 6,600 sonde, a ProDSS multi-parameter sonde, a Turner 10AU fluorometer, a Beckman Coulter CytoFLEX S flow cytometer, a Seal Analytical AA3 HR Nutrient Autoanalyzer, an Illumina MiSeq v2 platform, and the Illumina NovaSeq 6000.

These data reveal a remarkably persistent transition in surface ocean biogeochemistry, phytoplankton biomass, and phytoplankton community structure, despite high water exchange and define surface ocean biogeochemical and phytoplankton regimes over space and time across nearshore to offshore waters in the tropical Pacific. These results provide insight into drivers of seasonal and spatial variability of phytoplankton communities. Data were collected and analyzed by Sarah J. Tucker, Yoshimi M. Rii, Kelle C. Freel, Keliʻiahonui Kotubetey, A. Hiʻilei Kawelo, and Kawika B. Winter, Michael S. Rappé.

Summary:
This dataset includes the densities (count/mL) of the alga Tetraselmis suecica (LB 2286) cultures grown from a UTEX sample. The counts were obtained using a Beckman Coulter Z2 Particle Counter in the lab over a five-day period under different experimental temperature regimes. The experiment took place between 2023-05-23 and 2023-08-18. The goal of the experiment was to determine how mean temperature and temperature fluctuation frequency affected the growth rate of T. suecica. By comparing the growth rate of T. suecica under constant vs. variable temperatures, one can determine the historical or legacy effects of past temperature variation on subsequent organismal performance. These experiments were conducted by members of the Brian Helmuth Lab at Northeastern University.

[Lagrangian Trace Metal Concentrations] - Surface and profile concentrations of trace metals and radionuclides near Station ALOHA (Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education)

Summary:
Trace element water samples from KM1513 were collected with the MIT Automated Trace Element (ATE) sampler, deployed with a teflon-coated wire from the ship\u2019s deck for surface water samples (collected at roughly 10 m depth), and with the ATEs attached to PVC \u201cVanes\u201d designed to prevent contamination from the ship\u2019s steel wire for samples collected at greater depth. Samples were filtered at 0.4 \u03bcm immediately after collection through polycarbonate track etched filters (Nucleopore) into 250 mL HDPE bottles and acidified to 0.012 M hydrochloric acid (ultrapure by quadruple distillation in a Vycor still; ~pH 2) at sea. Sampling and filtration followed published protocols used previously at Station ALOHA, for direct comparison (Fitzsimmons et al., 2015). These casts mostly aligned with Niskin cast station locations, but in some cases did not.

[Large Volume Pump Data from EN665] - Small and large particle concentrations of total carbon, total nitrogen, and inorganic carbon, and particulate thorium-234 and RAP234 from large volume pump profiles collected on R/V Endeavor cruise EN665 in the Gulf of Maine in April 2021 (Biogenic Calcium Carbonate Solubilities and Reaction Rates by Lab and Field Saturometry)

Summary:
Sample collection took place at two primary stations within the Gulf of Maine's Wilkinson and Jordan basins from the R/V Endeavor in April 2021. McLane pumps were deployed at eight depths throughout the water column from near the sea surface (~14 meters) to near the seafloor (~250 meters). The first deployment occurred in the Wilkinson Basin and the second occurred in the Jordan Basin. Small (1-51 micrometer (µm)) and large particle (>51 µm) concentrations of total carbon, total nitrogen, and inorganic carbon (PC, PN, and PIC, respectively) are presented, along with small particle isotopic compositions (13C, 15N) of these phases, particulate thorium-234, and RAP234 (a resuspension proxy associated with particulate thorium-234). Depth profiles demonstrate typical particulate carbon shapes. The PIC demonstrates a peak near the seafloor, indicating the potential presence of a nepheloid layer. This feature does not appear in the PC data. The isotopic composition of the PIC demonstrates uniquely negative values throughout the water column. Small particle thorium-234 activities were consistently larger than the large particle activities at all depths and small particle RAP234 activities indicate possible resuspension in the bottom ~50 m of the water column. These data were collected by Drs. Adam Subhas (WHOI) and Erin Black (UR). Data processing and preparation were completed by Dr. Subhas, Dr. Black, and Karine Holmes (UR).

Summary:
The goal of the larval krill studies was to investigate the physiology and ecology of krill larvae associated with the pack ice and the microbial community on which they feed.\r\n\r\nDuring LMG0106 we occupied two 4-5 day ice stations (Robert and Billy) and sampled several other ice floes opportunistically. We conducted 10 instantaneous growth rate experiments, and 4 whole body clearance time experiments to determine gut passage time (decline in pigment content over time). We also sampled larvae at two additional sites for initial body pigment content (whole body fluorescence), and at 4 sites for condition factor. The under-ice algal community was sampled at one site. Length and stage frequency determinations were also determined.\r\n\r\nWe occupied three time-series stations of approximately 1 week each, and in addition opportunistically sampled at times when other activities had priority. Our primary goal during the cruise was to occupy three ice camps or process stations with the intent of thoroughly studying the under-ice environment by SCUBA in conjunction with other projects working topside.

[Larval morphometrics Strongylocentrotus purpuratus under ocean warming and food availability scenarios] - Larval morphometrics of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus under ocean warming and food availability scenarios (Collaborative Research: The effects of marine heatwaves on reproduction, larval transport and recruitment in sea urchin metapopulations)

Summary:
Trends in survival, morphometric patterns, and time to metamorphic competency across temperature and food availability treatments were measured in S. purpuratus larvae.

Larvae were spawned from adult purple urchins collected in Santa Barbara, CA. Effects of temperature and food availability were tested using a 6 x 4 factorial experimental design with six temperature treatments (10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20°C) and four concentrations of Rhodomonas sp. microalgae (500, 2500, 5000, 10,000 cells mL-1) for a total of 24 treatment combinations. Food treatments represented algal concentrations from starvation to ad libitum conditions. Temperature and food treatments were based on historical observations of temperature trends and chlorophyll abundance. Larval samples were collected 4, 9, and 15 days post-fertilization and fixed in 10% PBS buffered formalin for morphometric analyses.

Samples were collected before feeding to minimize influence of algae on stomach measurements. Fixed larvae were then photographed using an Olympus BX41 compound microscope with a Nikon 3400 DSLR camera at 4X magnification and postoral arm length, body length, stomach length and height were measured in 20 randomly selected larvae from each sample using ImageJ software (Schneider et al. 2012). Metamorphic competency was determined when >50% of larvae exhibited tube feet and adhered to the bottle.

[Larval Survival-Purple urchin] - Survival of larval Strongylocentrotus purpuratus under ocean warming and food availability scenarios (Collaborative Research: The effects of marine heatwaves on reproduction, larval transport and recruitment in sea urchin metapopulations)

Summary:
We tested how thermal tolerance itself can be fundamentally altered by food limitation hypothesis by quantifying how temperature and food concentrations interact synergistically to shape survival throughout larval development of purple urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus). Larval sampling was conducted every two days to estimate changes in larval density and competency, in conjunction with water changes and feedings. Larval densities were quantified by concentrating larval cultures to 100 mL and counting the number of larvae found in five 1 mL subsamples. Density counts continued until larvae showed signs of metamorphosis, as determined by the presence of a rudiment and exposed tube feet.

[Latitudinal variation in shell thickness of snails across 20 years] - Latitudinal variation in the shell thickness and tissue mass of Littorina obtusata snails in 1995-1997 and 2017-2018 (Local adaptation and the evolution of plasticity under predator invasion and warming seas: consequences for individuals, populations and communities)

Summary:
The impact of invasive predators during the early stages of invasion is often variable in space and time. Such variation is expected to initially favor plasticity in prey defenses but fixed defenses as invaders become established. Coincident with the range expansion of an invasive predatory crab in the Gulf of Maine we document rapid changes in shell thickness – a key defense against shell crushing predators – of an intertidal snail. Field experiments, conducted 20 years apart, revealed that temporal shifts in shell thickness were driven by the evolution of increased trait means and erosion of thickness plasticity. The virtual elimination of the trade-off in tissue mass that often accompanies thicker shells is consistent with the evolution of fixed defenses under increasingly certain predation risk. These data describe latitudinal variation in the shell thickness and tissue mass of snail (Littorina obtusata) populations throughout the Gulf of Maine in 1995-1997 and 2017-2018. These data allowed us to evaluate the relationship between spatiotemporal changes in green crab density and spatiotemporal variation in snail shell thickness and tissue mass.

Summary:
Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by marine heatwaves, which drive widespread coral bleaching and mortality. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have been proposed as potential thermal refuges due to their greater depth and relative isolation from surface temperature extremes. Yet their resilience to extreme heat events remains uncertain, with location specific conclusions, thus requiring further studies. Here, we investigate the effects of the 2023 marine heatwave in the Cayman Islands, which resulted in prolonged sea surface temperatures exceeding 31°C and 17.5 DHW with extensive bleaching across shallow coral reefs.

Utilizing vertical transect surveys from 10m to 50m, we assessed depth-related variations in bleaching prevalence and temperature profiles. Our results indicate a significant decline in bleaching with increasing depth, with a concurrent reduction in temperature. Depth-generalist species exhibited reduced bleaching at greater depths, whereas shallow-water specialists displayed severe bleaching. These findings suggest that while MCEs may provide thermal refuge for some species, their capacity to buffer against climate-driven reef degradation is species-specific. Given the increasing frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves, understanding the role of deeper reef habitats in mitigating coral loss is critical for informing conservation and management strategies.

Our study underscores the importance of protecting MCEs as potential thermal refuges while emphasizing the need for continued research on species-specific thermal resilience with depth. Within this dataset, we present the temperature data measured during each survey across depth.

[Live area and NDVI measurements] - Total live mangrove coverage and annual NDVI classifications for the mangrove die-off region based on Landsat 5 and 7 transformed imagery. (An interdisciplinary approach to elucidating the causes of widespread mangrove die-off)

Summary:
These data were compiled to better determine when the mangrove die-off began.
NDVI values of 0.2 or greater correspond to live mangrove cover. These data
suggest the mangrove die-off may have started in 2008 and was exacerbated in
following years with some recovery in 2013. Live area was calculated by
determining the area of the die-off region with NDVI values greater than 0.2.

[Lobster Larvae Growth and Mortality Data] - Growth and mortality of lobster larvae at different temperatures for lobster larvae from Gulf of Maine near Boothbay Maine from 2021 and 2022 (Lobster Thermal Thresholds project) (RUI: Collaborative Research: Linking physiological thermal thresholds to the distribution of lobster settlers and juveniles)

Summary:
We used the American lobster (Homarus americanus lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:156134) in the Gulf of Maine as a model system to define thermal tolerance in larvae and establish mechanistic linkages between thermal tolerance of the individual larva and the patterns of settlement in the field.  We assessed and compared the thermal tolerances of larvae reared in the laboratory using conventional methods with larvae captured in the wild, and examined ontogenetic changes in thermal tolerance.  The upper and lower thermal thresholds larval stages I-IV and the first juvenile stage were defined in part by growth and mortality when subjected to chronic exposure to different treatment temperatures until they either molted to the next developmental stage or died.  This data set includes individuals dying, the size after molting and the amount of time elapsed between the start of the treatment and either molting or death.  These data were collected between 2021-2022 at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, led by Eric Annis.

[Lobster Larvae Respirometry Data] - Oxygen consumption by lobster larvae at different temperatures using closed cell respirometry for lobster larvae from Gulf of Maine near Boothbay Maine from 2021 to 2023 (Lobster Thermal Thresholds project) (RUI: Collaborative Research: Linking physiological thermal thresholds to the distribution of lobster settlers and juveniles)

Summary:
We used the American lobster (Homarus americanus lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:156134) in the Gulf of Maine as a model system to define thermal tolerance in larvae and establish mechanistic linkages between thermal tolerance of the individual larva and the patterns of settlement in the field.  We assessed and compared the thermal tolerances of larvae reared in the laboratory using conventional methods with larvae captured in the wild, and examined ontogenetic changes in thermal tolerance.  The upper and lower thermal thresholds larval stages I-IV and the first juvenile stage were defined in part by oxygen consumption and scope for activity (defined as the difference in oxygen consumption between larvae at rest and larvae swimming actively).  This data set includes the raw oxygen consumption data obtained through closed system microrespirometry and subsequently used to calculate scope for activity.  These data were collected between 2021-2023 at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, led by Eric Annis.

[Log_Kd] - Partition coefficient of 234Th, 233Pa, 210Pb, 210Po, and 7Be (Biopolymers as carrier phases for selected natural radionuclides (of Th, Pa, Pb, Po, Be) in diatoms and coccolithophores)

Summary:
Laboratory studies were conducted to examine the sorption of selected radionuclides (234Th, 233Pa, 210Po, 210Pb, and 7Be) onto inorganic (pure silica and acid-cleaned diatom frustules) and organic (diatom cells with or without silica frustules) particles in natural seawater and the role of templating biomolecules and exopolymeric substances (EPS) extracted from the same species of diatom, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, in the sorption process. The range of partition coefficients (Kd, reported as logKd) of radionuclides between water and the different particle types was 4.78\u20136.69 for 234Th, 5.23\u20136.71 for 233Pa, 4.44\u20135.86 for 210Pb, 4.47\u20134.92 for 210Po, and 4.93\u20137.23 for 7Be, similar to values reported for lab and field determinations. The sorption of all radionuclides was significantly enhanced in the presence of organic matter associated with particles, resulting in Kd one to two orders of magnitude higher than for inorganic particles only, with highest values for 7Be (logKd of 7.2). Results further indicate that EPS and frustule-embedded biomolecules in diatom cells are responsible for the sorption enhancement rather than the silica shell itself. By separating radiolabeled EPS via isoelectric focusing, we found that isoelectric points are radionuclide specific, suggesting that each radionuclide binds to specific biopolymeric functional groups, with the most efficient binding sites likely occurring in acid polysaccharides, iron hydroxides, and proteins. Further progress in evaluating the effects of diatom frustule\u2013related biopolymers on binding, scavenging, and fractionation of radionuclides would require the application of molecular-level characterization techniques.

[Long Phytoplankton Chain lengths, Zooglider BioSWOT-Med] - Large phytoplankton chain lengths from BIOSWOT-Med Zooglider deployment in the Northwest Mediterranean Sea during March to May 2023 (Zooglider assessment of zooplankton frontal gradients across the BIOSWOT-Med region)

Summary:
These data are based on deployment of the Scripps Zooglider in collaboration with the French-led BIOSWOT-Med study in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea in Spring 2023. This study was one of the Adopt-a-Crossover field studies carried out around the world in synchrony with the launch by NASA/CNES of the new SWOT satellite for enhanced ocean altimetry. We deployed Zooglider on 30 March 2023 from Palma, Majora using a small craft, then navigated it remotely to the BIOSWOT-Med study region. Initially Zooglider sampled to the east of Majorca and south of Menorca. Then we recovered Zooglider at sea, transported it to the center of an anticyclonic eddy north of Menorca, and redeployed it, navigating it from the eddy center across the eddy periphery. We then recovered it at sea on 8 May 2023, for a total mission duration of 40 days. Zooglider data were telemetered back to our server each time the vehicle surfaced and the data were immediately posted on our public website, available to all BIOSWOT-Med participants and any member of the general public. The data archived here are length measurements from 5 different groups of highly elongate phytoplankton chains (Guinardia spp., Proboscia spp., Diatom chains with cell lengths much greater than cell widths, and diatom chains with cell lengths approximately equal to cell widths, and Trichodesmium filaments) from in situ images taken with Zooglider's shadowgraph Zoocam. Data were typically acquired in Zooglider dives between approximately 420 meters depth and the sea surface, apart from initial and final Zooglider dives that were somewhat shallower.

[Longitudinal study NCBI SRA] - NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) accession numbers for fastq sequence files of 16S amplicons from a longitudinal study of SCTLD at St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands from 2020 to 2024 (A multi-scale approach to predicting infectious multi-host disease spread in marine benthic communities)

Summary:
In St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, a longitudinal study of Colpophyllia natans was conducted. Six corals per site (two sites) were tagged and repeatedly sampled from July 2020 through March 2024, during which time, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) arrived on the reefs. As the tagged corals contracted SCTLD, coral tissue and near-coral seawater (2-5 centimeters from colony surface) were collected. Coral tissue was separated from the coral skeleton, and the seawater was filtered through 0.2-micrometer (µm) filters. DNA was extracted from the tissue and filters, and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing was done to determine the bacteria and archaea communities that live within and near the corals. The goal of the study was to determine how coral-associated microbiomes are affected by the arrival of SCTLD through time. This data set contains the fastq files of the 16S amplicon sequencing of the coral tissue and near-coral seawater communities.
