1 Coral Bleaching Experiment Aiptasia Zoox Density after a Cold Shock.
Group 4 Moh Will Cal Merleen Jessica

2 Aiptasia and Cold Shock
After a cold shock, Zoox density will decrease after re-warmed to ambient temperatures. The lower the temperature during the cold shocks, the lower the Zoox density after re-warmth to ambient temp. In conducting the cold shocks, a temperature will be reached where no additional Zoox loss will occur.

3 Methods We labeled four independent tubes and placed Aiptasia and water within each of those tubes and then placed the tubes in a closed container containing ice with a thermometer simultaneously checking the temperature. We measured the grams of Aiptasia within each tube. Every fifteen minutes, beginning at time equals zero, we removed a tube, placed the tube outside until it went back up to ambient temperature, and then measured Zoox density.

4 Cold Shock Experiment Tube # Weight (g) Time (min) Action
Cup Temp (˚C) 1(control) 0.0702 00 Insert 2,3,4; process 1 25 2 .1109 15 take out 2 5 3 0.1014 30 take out 3 4 0.0915 45 take out 4

5 Zoox Density of Tubes (1-4)
Tube # x 10^6 Zoox/g wet weight. Tube #2 33.8x10^6 Zoox/g wet weight Tube # x 10^6 Zoox/g wet weight Tube # x 10^6 Zoox/g wet weight

6 An error..... how? I’m perfect!
As demonstrated by our data, it appears that their was a big gap in Zoox density from the first tube to the others. The similar measurements in Zoox density in tubes 2-4 indicate to us that once a certain temperature is achieved (around 2 degrees Celsius) no additional Zoox loss will occur.

7 Finally……. We will continue to replicate our experiment and hopefully we’ll get a constant rate of Zoox loss along with a constant temperature level in which no additional Zoox loss will occur.
