Description

This dataset includes a sample log of coral specimens collected for genetic analysis of algal symbionts by divers near the Galapagos and Panama between August 2014 and March 2017.

Methods & Sampling

Samples were extracted for downstream DNA analyses using a bulk DNA extraction protocol. See protocols.io at dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.dyq7vv or local PDF: "Bulk gDNA extraction from coral samples"

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- date format expanded to 4-digit year
- removed single quotes from Sample records
- replaced spaces with underscores in Location, Sample, and Species columns
- replaced – with hyphen, -
- blank cells were replaced by 'nd' (no data)

Generic Name: Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus

Acronym: SCUBA

Generic Description:

The self-contained underwater breathing apparatus or scuba diving system is the result of technological developments and innovations that began almost 300 years ago. Scuba diving is the most extensively used system for breathing underwater by recreational divers throughout the world and in various forms is also widely used to perform underwater work for military, scientific, and commercial purposes.
