Table 1.

Mean (±s.e.) Symbiodinium density, chlorophyll a concentration [chla], and cell specific [chla] for initial samples, and net dissolved oxygen (DO) evolved after a ~10 h incubation experiment at ambient and sub-bleaching temperatures with Orbicella faveolata collected from the deep and shallow forereef of Carrie Bow Cay, Belize
