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.<br><br>

本数据集围绕贻贝的空间分布格局展开，涵盖通过ImageJ软件对养殖笼图像测算得到的贻贝盖度（percentage cover）、周长面积比（perimeter area ratio），同一组图像中观测到的捕食者（蟹类、鸟类）数量，养殖笼内采集的岩芯样本中所有贻贝的个体状态数据（包括体长、体重及状态指数），岩芯样本中的贻贝总数量及每平方厘米等效贻贝数，以及每个养殖笼对应的养殖密度与网目处理方式。
