Effects of sediment load on calyx growth of the juvenile cold-water coral Caryophyllia (Caryophyllia) huinayensis

The table shows the calyx diameters of the juvenile Caryophyllia (Caryophyllia) huinayensis measured in ImageJ (Version 1.53), separated according to exposed sediment concentration at the beginning of the 12-week sediment exposure experiment (week 0), in the middle (week 6) and at the end (week 12). Corals were exposed to three concentrations, a natural (0.0042 ml/l) and a 100-fold and a 1000-fold increased sediment concentration.
