PISCO: Intertidal: Recruitment Monitoring: OSU: Plate: 2003

This metadata record documents the recruitment monitoring study for PISCO intertidal. Settlement collectors are deployed and rock surfaces cleared at various sites along the pacific coast of California and Oregon. At each site there are at least two types of collectors. Collectors made of plastic mesh, ovoid, pot-scrubbers ("Tuffys") target mussel recruits. Plastic 10x10 cm PVC plates covered with 3M Safety-Walk target barnacle recruitment. 10x10 cm square plots were cleared on the rock near each barnacle recruitment plate to target natural barnacle recruitment. Turfys are rectangles of artificial turf that target crab recruitment. All collectors were deployed and plots cleared in the mid zone at all the sites throughout the year. Additional collectors and plots were added to the low and high shore levels in specific years and sites. Although mussels and barnacles were the main target taxa, other organisms were recorded as well.本元数据记录针对PISCO潮间带幼体补充监测研究进行归档。研究人员在加利福尼亚州与俄勒冈州的太平洋沿岸多个样点布设定居收集器，并清理岩石表面。每个样点至少布设两类收集器：由塑料网制成的卵形洗锅刷（“Tuffys”）用于采集贻贝幼体补充个体；表面覆有3M Safety-Walk防滑材料的10×10厘米聚氯乙烯（PVC）塑料板，用于监测藤壶幼体补充。此外，在每块藤壶幼体补充监测板附近的岩石上清理出10×10厘米的方形样地，以监测自然状态下的藤壶幼体补充。Turfys为长方形人工草皮垫，用于采集蟹类幼体补充个体。全年所有样点的潮间带中区均完成收集器布设与样地清理工作。在特定年份与样点中，研究人员还会在潮间带低区与高区增设收集器与样地。尽管本研究以贻贝与藤壶为主要目标类群，但同时也对其他伴生生物进行了记录。
