Abstract

The growth rate of Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts was measured at two sites (Cabritte Horn and Tektite) and two depths (3 and 9 meters) in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI. The growth rate of the PAC margin (micrometer/day) was calculated using the number of days between when the tag was initially deployed to mark the margin of PAC in August 2019 to when the margin was re-measured again in January 2020.

Replicate: Replicate number (1 to 80) is the unique identification for each individual margin of PAC that was tagged between August 2019 and January 2020 in order to measure the growth rate of PAC.

Site: The two sites within Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI where margins of PAC were tagged to determine growth rate of PAC, and whether it varied between sites (Cabritte Horn, Tektite).

Depth: Depth in meters (either 3 or 9 m) at the site where tags were used to determine growth rate of PAC, and whether it varied between depths (3 meters depth vs 9 meters depth)

Growth Rate: Growth rate of PAC margin (micrometer/day) calculated using the number of days between when the tag was initially deployed to mark the margin of PAC to when the margin was re-measured again in January 2020.
