Data accompanying Timmins-Schiffman et al. 2013

These 3 files are the source data for Table 1 and Figures 3, 4, and 5 in Timmins-Schiffman et al. 2013 Elevated pCO2 causes developmental delay in early larval Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, published in Marine Biology (doi 10.1007/s00227-012-2055-x).

Table 1: Salinity, total alkalinity (AT), and spectrophotometric (spec) pH are point measurements taken each day. Partial pressure of CO2, carbonate saturation, and carbonate ion concentration were calculated from spec pH and AT. Mean and standard deviation (u ± SD) for the following parameters are given for all 3 days: temperature, salinity, AT, pH, pCO2, and carbonate ion concentration.

Data for Fig 3: Number of larvae scored as calcified, uncalcified, or partially calcified are given for different replicates (jars) for the two time points (24 and 72 hours post-fertilization) and different pCO2 conditions (400, 700, or 1000 µatm).

Data for Figs 4 and 5: Each cell represents a measurement for an individual larva.  Column headers are formatted [measurement type][pCO2].[day measurement taken], i.e. height400.day1 contains data for larval shell height from the 400 uatm treatment on day 1 post-fertilization.  Data are for shell height and depth, pCO2 of approximately 400, 700, and 1000 uatm, and days 1 and 3 post-fertilization.

Data for Fig 6: Data were plotted for individual oysters with measurements of both shell height and hinge length.  Columns have data for day post-fertilization, pCO2 (in uatm), DayTreatment combined factor, hinge length, and shell height.  Each row contains data for a single oyster larva.
