The increase in frequency and severity of coral bleaching has generated a necessity to identify attributes associated with thermal tolerance in both the coral animal and their intracellular algal symbionts. Recent advances in the field of metabolomics have allowed for the identification and investigation of such attributes through chemical profiling; however, this has yet to be investigated in gametic or zygotic life-history stages, thus limiting the understanding of how biochemical signatures are passed across generations. Here, we use mass spectrometry-based metabolomics to analyze the biochemicals associated with coral sperm, eggs, and embryos. We show a strong signal of the parent colony in all cell types and demonstrate evidence for imprinting of past bleaching events on the metabolome at both the gametic and zygotic life-history stages. Overall this work provides evidence of the transgenerational effects of thermal stress on corals, which has potentially profound implications for coral reef restoration and management.
