Cockle Field Caging Experiment Data (2014)

To determine whether differences in cockle density or qualitative burial depth observed during the 2014 field survey were affected by green macroalgal (GMA) mats, we conducted a field caging experiment whereby cockles were subjected to the presence or absence of simulated GMA mats for 12 weeks (July-September 2014). This dataset contains all data collected during that field experiment.

This dataset is associated with the following publication:
