Methods & Sampling

In this experiment, larval growth and metamorposis was tested using different food levels.

Larvae hatched on October 10, 2009 and ~50 were distributed into each tubs on 500mL filtered sea water (FSW). Because the greatest metamorphic success was in the Isochrysis galbana treatment during experiment 1, only that species was used in this experiment. Three food densities were created high food (4 x 104 cells mL-1 ), low food (4 x 103 cells mL-1 ) plus an Unfed treatment in which larvae were raised in FSW.

For this experiment, larval shell height was only measured 1- and 11-day post-hatch, the first and final days of the experiment (N = 10 from each treatment, after pooling larvae across replicate containers).

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:

added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
empty values were replaced with 'nd' (no data).
