Data from the study presented in the paper 'Understanding scales of density-dependence to improve the use of resources in benthic mussel aquaculture'

data concerning spatial configuration of mussels : percentage cover, perimeter area ratio measured from images of cages using imageJ. Number of predators (carbs, birds) observed in the same set of images. Data on mussels condition (size, mass and condition index) for all mussels found in cores taken inside cages. the total number of mussels in cores and equivalent mussel/cm2 is reported. For each cage the density and mesh treatment are written.

本数据集涵盖贻贝空间配置相关数据：包括通过图像J软件（ImageJ）分析养殖笼图像所得的盖度百分比与周长面积比；同一组图像中观测到的捕食者（蟹类、鸟类）数量；针对养殖笼内采集的岩芯样本中发现的所有贻贝，记录其个体状态数据（尺寸、体重及状态指数）；同时报告岩芯样本中贻贝的总数量及单位面积贻贝当量数（只/cm²）；此外还记录了每个养殖笼的养殖密度与网目处理方式。
