Fig 4. M. capitata sperm does not contain the same toxic properties as its eggs.

Fig 4

P. compressa zooxanthellae from 8 individuals were split into 5 sub-samples and exposed to five different treatments: 1) frozen/thawed F. scutaria sperm, 2) frozen/thawed M. capitata sperm, 3) toxic eggs: frozen/thawed crushed M. capitata eggs, 4) frozen/thawed crushed M. capitata larvae, and 5) FSW. After 20 min, the crushed M. capitata eggs and larvae reduced quantum yield greater than 90% (P < 0.05), while the other treatments remained unchanged at 0.4 (P > 0.05).
