Lab study on the effect of dissolved oxygen, salinity, and temperature on mussel adhesive plaques with mussels collected from Penn Cove Shellfish in Coupeville, Washington.

<p>Data generated from laboratory experiments that investigated the influence of the dissolved oxygen concentration, salinity, and temperature of seawater on plaque attachment as the material aged. Mussels (<em>M. trossulus</em>) were collected from Penn Cove Shellfish, Quilcene Bay, Quilcene, Washington, USA [47°47’42.0” N, 122°51”10.8” W] and held experimental aquaria at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, USA for up to 14 days. Mussels produced threads over the course of 4 hrs that were incubated in a range of dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity conditions for up to 12 days. Adhesive plaques were then pulled to failure to determine adhesion strength. These data accompany the manuscript (George, M.N., Pedigo, B., and Carrington, E. 2018).</p>本数据集来源于探究海水溶解氧浓度、盐度与温度对贻贝附着斑块随材料老化过程影响的实验室实验数据。研究对象为*M. trossulus*贻贝，采集自美国华盛顿州奎尔库恩的彭湾贝类养殖场（坐标：47°47’42.0" N, 122°51’10.8" W），随后于美国华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学实验水族箱中暂养长达14天。实验期间，贻贝在4小时内分泌足丝，将所产足丝置于一系列溶解氧、温度与盐度梯度条件下培养长达12天。随后通过牵拉黏附斑块至断裂，测定其黏附强度。本数据集配套2018年发表的学术论文（George, M.N., Pedigo, B., and Carrington, E. 2018）。
