They also plan to use data from a portable stress test for corals that Palumbi is developing \u2014 \u201clike a human treadmill test for cardiac function\u201d, he says. He and his team have built tanks out of 7.5-litre cooler boxes rigged with lights, heaters and chillers that can dose corals with a controlled bout of high physiological stress.
