Water quality data collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2021-05-01 to 2021-07-31 and Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) growth and survival responses during multistressor exposures

Impacts of multiple water quality stressors (acidification, hypoxia, and low salinity) associated with freshwater flooding events on larval and juvenile oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were examined using laboratory exposures. This dataset includes the water quality conditions and oyster growth and survival responses during multistressor exposures that tested four different early oyster developmental stages (veliger larvae, pediveliger larvae, post-settlement juveniles [< 1mm], and juveniles [5-10 mm]). Water quality conditions in the northern Gulf of Mexico near oyster habitats were also evaluated between 2021-05-01 to 2021-07-31 and presented in this dataset. HOBO data loggers were deployed at St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis, MS to record in situ dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and temperature at 5-min intervals. Publicly available water monitoring data (dissolved oxygen, salinity, and temperature) were downloaded from weather stations at Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) Deer Island Aquaculture Park, and Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL) in Alabama.
