Oyster Gape with Temperature Test Measurements at Pass Christian Hatchery, Mississippi, 2018-09-03 to 2018-09-06

This experiment was conducted to test a newly-developed instrument for measuring the gaping behaviour of oysters and to observe gaping during spawning. Gaping is the alternate closing and opening of a shell. The dataset consists of values from six oysters which include time, sensor data, and temperature in a CSV data file. Sensor data is the distance between sensor and magnet in mm. Initial readings are of a closed Oyster (Minimum Sensor Magnet Distance). The experiment was carried out at a hatchery in Pass Christian, Mississippi, 2018-09-03 through 2018-09-06. The sensor failed before spawning was induced (those data are available in related dataset MS.x838.000:0004, DOI: 10.7266/8WKRP66V). Data was transmitted over WiFi (transmission rates may vary).
