NCCOS Assessment: Digitized histological slides for a collaborative project on Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) resistance and susceptibility in Orbicella faveolata, collected in Broward County and Florida Keys reefs between 2021-05-28 and 2022-03-19
This data is part of a multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary collaboration called the SCTLD resistance research consortium (RRC) investigating resistance and susceptibility among Orbicella faveolata populations off Broward and the Lower Florida Keys. These digitized histological slides include tissue biopsies from wild O. faveolata colonies from two regions (the Kristin Jacobs Coral Reef Ecosystem Conservation Area in Broward County, and Looe Key and Sand Key in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary) and three resistance categories (“Low Resistance”, “Medium Resistance”, “High Resistance”). Each colony was sampled three times throughout the monitoring period to capture temporal differences in physiological processes: Period 1= late-May – mid-June, Period 2= mid-August – mid-September, Period 3= late-February – mid-March. All slides were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and scanned on a digital slide scanner to a maximum magnification of 40x. A subset of slides from Periods 1 and 2 were also stained with Movat's pentachrome stain. All images are in SVS format. This dataset only includes the raw histological slide collection and associated metadata from biopsied coral colonies. Results from the analysis of the histological slides will be available from partner labs in separate associated datasets.
