Figure 1.
Symbiosis rates of Tridacna spp. in the hatchery observations.
Showing what percentage of the seeds reared in non treated and UV treated seawater established a symbiotic relationship with Symbiodinium. Each box plot depicts the mean (dotted bar), the median (thick bar), the upper and lower quartile (upper and lower sides of the box, respectively), the lowest and highest sample within the 1.5 interquartile ranges of the lower and upper quartile (upper and lower tips of the vertical line, respectively), and outliers (circles).
Figure 2.
Symbiosis rates of Tridacna crocea in the UV treatment experiment.
Showing what percentage of the seeds reared in UV treated and non UV treated seawater filtered at 7 levels established a symbiotic relationship with Symbiodinium. Presented with the mean (circle and cross) and range (vertical line).
Figure 3.
Symbiosis rates of Tridacna crocea in the filtration autoclave experiments.
Showing what percentage of the seeds reared in autoclaved and non autoclaved seawater filtered at various levels established a symbiotic relationship with Symbiodinium. Presented with the mean (circle and cross) and range (vertical line).
Figure 4.
Survival rates of Tridacna crocea (Run 1) and Tridacna maxima (Run 2) in the monoculture experiments.
Showing the mean (circle, cross, triangle) and range (vertical line) of survival rates of the seeds reared in non treated, UV treated and autoclaved seawater with no addition of Symbiodinium. For Run 2, autoclaved seawater was not tested.
