Salinity tolerance of oysters without acclimation in lab conditions: shell heights

<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等人（2021）完成。简言之，本研究在可控实验室条件下，测定了由4个不同亲贝群体繁育的、未经盐度驯化的牡蛎幼体在5种不同盐度胁迫下的死亡率。实验所用的牡蛎亲贝分别采自路易斯安那州的2个群体：卡尔卡修湖（Calcasieu Lake；29°50′58′′N, 93°17′1′′W）与弗米利恩湾（Vermilion Bay；29°34′47′′N, 92°2′4′′W），以及得克萨斯州的2个群体：帕克里水道（Packery Channel；27°37′38′′N, 97°13′59′′W）与阿兰萨斯湾（Aransas Bay；28°7′38′′N, 96°59′8′′W）。本次盐度耐受性实验于2018年11—12月（试验1）与2019年3—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。
