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>本数据集源自实验室实验数据，该实验探究了海水溶解氧浓度、盐度及温度对贻贝附着斑块随材料老化过程的附着特性的影响。实验所用贻贝（<em>M. trossulus</em>）采集自美国华盛顿州昆斯敦湾的Penn Cove Shellfish养殖场，采集坐标为北纬47°47′42.0″、西经122°51′10.8″；随后被安置于美国华盛顿州西雅图市华盛顿大学的实验水族箱中暂养，暂养时长不超过14天。贻贝在4小时内分泌足丝，随后将足丝置于梯度溶解氧、温度与盐度条件下培养，培养时长可达12天。随后通过拉拔试验使附着斑块断裂，以此测定其黏附强度。本数据集配套发表于论文（George, M.N.、Pedigo, B.及Carrington, E.，2018）。
