Salinity tolerance of oysters without acclimation in lab conditions: mortality

<p>A detailed description of methods was written by Marshall et al. (2021). In summary, mortality of oyster spat spawned from four different broodstocks was measured when exposed to five different salinities (without acclimation) under controlled laboratory conditions. Oyster broodstocks were sourced from two populations in Louisiana (Calcasieu Lake; 29°50′58′′N, 93°17′1′′W, and Vermilion Bay; 29°34′47′′N, 92°2′4′′W) and two populations in Texas (Packery Channel; 27°37′38′′N, 97°13′59′′W, and Aransas Bay; 28°7′38′′N, 96°59′8′′W). This salinity tolerance experiment was conducted in November–December 2018 (Trial 1) and March–April 2019 (Trial 2) at Texas A&amp;M University-Corpus Christi.</p>

本实验方法的详细描述由Marshall等（2021）完成。概而言之，本研究在可控实验室条件下，对未经驯化的、源自4个不同亲贝种群的牡蛎幼体，分别在5种不同盐度环境下的死亡率进行了测定。本次实验所用的牡蛎亲贝种群分别采自路易斯安那州的两处海域：卡尔卡苏湖（Calcasieu Lake；北纬29°50′58″，西经93°17′1″）与弗米利恩湾（Vermilion Bay；北纬29°34′47″，西经92°2′4″），以及得克萨斯州的两处海域：帕克里水道（Packery Channel；北纬27°37′38″，西经97°13′59″）与阿兰萨斯湾（Aransas Bay；北纬28°7′38″，西经96°59′8″）。本次盐度耐受性实验分别于2018年11月至12月（试验1）与2019年3月至4月（试验2）在得克萨斯农工大学科珀斯克里斯蒂分校（Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi）开展。
