Blue mussel fertilization to early juvenile development under ocean acidification for 5 populations from Long Island Sound from 2017-04-20 to 2017-06-04 (NCEI Accession 0299732)

This dataset contains laboratory experimental data of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) exposed to three different levels of carbon dioxide (low, mid, and high) from 4 hours post fertilization to day 45. Blue mussels were collected from 4 different populations located in Long Island Sound. The experiment took place from April 20, 2017 to June 4, 2017 at the NOAA NEFSC in Milford CT, with seawater pumped from Milford Harbor to the laboratory (41° 12′ 42.46″ N, 73° 3′ 7.75″ W). Carbonate chemistry and survival of blue mussels from the larval stage to the juvenile stage were assessed. This effort was made possible through the project R/XG-25 under the award NA14OAR4170069 from the National Sea Grant College Program of the US Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration .
