PISCO: Intertidal: Mussel Growth Monitoring: UCSB: 1998

This metadata record documents the difference of growth rates of mussels within the study sites of PISCO intertidal and on moorings along the California coast. The transplanted mussels are placed with in the exposed mid zone of the study sites or at XX depth on moorings found within 1 km of the shore. In the intertidal, one set of mussels are deployed in April and left out for a year. Another set is placed for 3 month and correspond in dates and duration to the mooring set. The mussel are then collected and brought back into the lab to be processed.

本元数据记录记载了加利福尼亚海岸沿线PISCO潮间带（intertidal）研究样地与沿岸锚泊设施（moorings）上贻贝的生长速率差异。移植后的贻贝被安置于研究样地的暴露中潮带，或是离岸1公里范围内锚泊设施的指定深度处。在潮间带样地中，一组贻贝于4月投放并留置于现场长达一年；另一组则仅放置3个月，其投放日期与持续时长与锚泊组相匹配。随后将所有贻贝收集并带回实验室开展后续处理。
