<p>This study characterizes the metabolism of the endemic Antarctic coral <em>Flabellum impensum</em> by measuring oxygen consumption and metabolic enzyme activity.&nbsp; This dataset is a comparison of<em> Flabellum impensum</em> metabolism with other corals reported in the literature and is from a table extracted from the paper,</p> <p>Metabolism of an Antarctic solitary coral, <em>Flabellum impensum</em>. 2013, by Lara V. Henry and Joseph J. Torres found in the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 449 (2013) 17-21.&nbsp; (Table 1)</p> <p>http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jembe.2013.08.010</p> <p>Studies referred to in Table 1:</p> <p>L.
