LTER Georgia Coastal Ecosystems - Mollusc pop size dist monitoring: Fall 2001 mid-marsh and creekbank infaunal and epifaunal mollusc size dist. based on collections from GCE marsh, mon sites 1-10

This data set is the Fall 2001 report of infaunal and epifaunal mollusc species
size distributions at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring.
Infaunal and epifaunal molluscs were hand-collected from within quadrats of
known area from mid-marsh and creekbank zones (n = 4 quadrats per zone) at all
sites. The molluscs were returned to the lab, fixed in fomalin, transferred to
and preserved in ethanol, measured and counted (count data is reported
separately). Length of each measurable individual was determined using
calipers or small etched rulers under a stereomicroscope. Species abundance
and density data for these collections may be found in the GCE-LTER data set
INV-GCEM-0301a. Numbers of individuals of each species in the abundance data
file may not correspond exactly to the numbers of individuals in the size data
file because some individuals may not have been measureable.
