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、盐度与温度在材料老化过程中对斑块附着的影响。研究样本采自美国华盛顿州奎尔科恩市奎尔科恩湾彭恩湾贝类养殖场，坐标为47°47′42.0″ N，122°51′10.8″ W，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最长达14天。贻贝（*M. trossulus*）在4小时内分泌足丝，随后将所产足丝置于不同溶解氧、温度与盐度条件下培养最长达12天。随后通过拉拔使粘附斑块失效，以此测定粘附强度。本数据集配套发表论文为George, M.N.、Pedigo, B.与Carrington, E. 2018年的研究成果。
