PISCO: Intertidal: Mussel Growth Monitoring: UCSC: 1999-2007

This metadata record documents the difference of growth rates of mussels within the study sites of PISCO intertidal and on moorings along the central California coast. The transplanted mussels are placed with in the exposed mid zone of the study sites or near the surface on moorings found within 1 km of the shore. In the intertidal, mussels are deployed in May and left out up to a year. The mussels are then collected and brought back to the lab to be processed.

本元数据记录了加利福尼亚中部海岸沿线PISCO潮间带研究站点与沿岸系泊设施上的贻贝生长速率差异。移植后的贻贝被布设于研究站点的暴露型中潮带区域，或离岸1公里范围内系泊设施的近表层位置。在潮间带站点中，贻贝于5月完成布设，并将在野外留存最长达一年。随后将收集所有贻贝并带回实验室开展处理工作。
