Data for: Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture with sugar kelp and oysters in a shallow coastal salt pond and open estuary site

The data set includes environmental data as well as kelp and oyster data from an integrated multi-trophic aquaculture study where sugar kelp was planted on four established oyster farms in Rhode Island, USA over 2 growing seasons (Year 1 = 2017-2018; Year 2 = 2018-2019). At each site, we planted to 60 m kelp lines (denoted as Line 1 and Line 2) approximately three weeks apart to determine optimal planting time. Kelp blade length and width was recorded at periodic intervals, and tissues were collected for carbon, nitrogen, δ15N, and δ13C analyses. Oyster growth data was collected from the same sites across the same timespans. Environmental data includes data collected on monthly farm visits with a YSI Sonde, as well as dissolved nutrients in the seawater. In addition, temperatures were logged on kelp lines every 15 minutes during each growing season.

本数据集源自一项综合多营养层级水产养殖研究，涵盖环境数据、海带及牡蛎相关数据。该研究于美国罗德岛州的4个已运营牡蛎养殖场开展，在两个完整生长季（第1季为2017-2018年，第2季为2018-2019年）内种植糖海带。在每个养殖场中，研究人员分别于间隔约三周的两个时间点布设总长60米的海带养殖绳（记为绳组1与绳组2），以探究最优种植时机。研究人员定期记录海带叶片的长度与宽度，并采集海带组织样本用于碳、氮、δ15N及δ13C同位素分析。同期于相同养殖场采集牡蛎生长相关数据。环境数据涵盖每月养殖场巡检时使用YSI Sonde采集的数据，以及海水中的溶解态营养盐含量。此外，每个生长季内，海带养殖绳上的温度记录仪每15分钟记录一次水温数据。
