Description

Carbonate chemistry of 3 pacific oyster cohorts from Whiskey Creek Hatchery. TCO2 and PCO2 are measured at analytical temp, values presented are corrected to in situ temp of 25 degrees C.

Carbonate Chemistry Summary

Across all three datasets, there are 3 cohorts of pacific oyster larvae that have been sampled, one in May and two in August, one in untreated seawater, the other in buffered seawater. Time is all indexed to fertilization of the oysters, with samples collected on days noted.
