PISCO: Mussel Growth Monitoring: OSU: 2003

This metadata record documents the difference of growth rates of mussels within the study sites of PISCO intertidal and on moorings along the Oregon coast. The transplanted mussels are placed with in the exposed mid zone of the study sites or at XX depth on mooring found within 1 km of the shore. In the intertidal, one set of mussels are deployed in April and left out for a year. Another set is placed for 3 month and correspond in dates and duration to the mooring set. The mussel are then collected and brought back into the lab to be processed. Complete protocol is available at http://data.piscoweb.org/metacat/catalog?amp;action=read&docid=PISCO_OSU_Mussel_Growth_Protocol.40.1本元数据记录记载了俄勒冈海岸沿线PISCO（Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans）潮间带研究区域及系泊设施上贻贝的生长速率差异。移植的贻贝被放置于研究区域的暴露中潮带，或是离岸1公里范围内系泊设施的XX深度处。在潮间带区域，一批贻贝于4月投放并留置野外一年；另一批则仅开展3个月的实验，其投放与回收的时间节点及实验周期与系泊组实验保持一致。后续将收集所有贻贝并带回实验室进行样品处理。完整实验操作规程可访问：http://data.piscoweb.org/metacat/catalog?action=read&docid=PISCO_OSU_Mussel_Growth_Protocol.40.1
