Raw data for manuscript titled- Gastropod shells can act as indicators of pollutants in drainage systems for coastal cities

Excel file for raw data collected during field. Site denotes place where sampling occurred, outfall status refers to control and impact site. Outfall present at impact sites and absent at control sites. Gastropod species, their number in a quadrat, number of shells which had alteration is noted down. Quadrat distance as described in methodolgy is entered. Sewage quality is a visual description. Study was undertaken to understand effect of sewage on gastropod ecology. Shell alteration was noted down and served as a bioindicator. Cause for alteration has been described and discussed in detail in the manuscript. Preliminary results show gastropods show more shell alterations in areas with an outfall. Data is open to analysis. Primary analysis was done by running GLM's for collected data. Number of gastropods, number of alterations in a quadrat served as response variables, while environmental factors served as predictor variables.
