In vivo measurement of respiration and photosynthesis in S. pistillata coral fragments. (a) inset : Oxygen consumption in the dark (Rd, nmol O2 cm−2 min−1). (a,b) Light-dependent oxygen exchange and relative electron transport rate (rETR-PSII) were obtained simultaneously. (c) Relationship between rETR-PSII and oxygen evolution. (d) Non photochemical quenching of fluorescence (NPQ) is shown for three minutes light-acclimated coral fragments. Vertical bars in (a–d) represent standard deviation, n = 6.
