Fine and Tchernov (2007)
Percent change in biomass (protein per polyp) of scleractinian coral colonies (Oculina patagonica and Madracis pharencis) from the Mediterranean Sea grown for 1 year under normal and reduced pH conditions. pH was altered by the addition of CO2. Temperatures ranged from 17 to 30°C.

Fine and Tchernov (2007)
Percent change in total buoyant weight of scleractinian coral colonies (Oculina patagonica and Madracis pharencis) from the Mediterranean Sea grown for 1 year under normal and reduced pH conditions. pH was altered by the addition of CO2. Temperatures ranged from 17 to 30°C.
