Estimates of primary production and respiration of three representative components of the Moorea coral reef ecosystem were made yearly in a laboratory flume from 2006 through 2015. The components are: algal turf communities, the macroalga Sargassum pacificum, and the common branching coral Pocillopora verrucosa. Metabolism estimates were made using changes in dissolved oxygen over time in a flume in unidirectional flow at saturating irradiances and dark. Rates were normalized to projected (planar) surface area (all components) and biomass (algal turfs, Sargassum). This timeseries completed in 2015.
