Description
Summary:This dataset contains results (e.g., mean survival, growth, and developmental rate etc.) from laboratory-based trials involving early-life stage (larval and juvenile) bivalve shellfish exposed to: 1) diurnal fluctuations in carbonate chemistry and dissolved oxygen; (2) chronic exposures to multiple, estuarine stressors (e.g., low pH, low DO, and thermal stress); and (3) transgenerational acidification. Results from diurnal experiments indicated that exposure to ideal conditions (e.g., pH = 7.9; DO > 7 mg/L) during the daytime did not offset the harmful impacts of acidification and hypoxia experienced by both larval- and juvenile-staged bivalve shellfish during non-daylight hours. In addition, laboratory studies involving chronic (i.e., sustained conditions) exposures to several estuarine stressors revealed that the combined and interactive impacts of multiple, co-occurring stressors can be more detrimental than singular exposures to individual stressors, outcomes that cannot be predicted based upon ...
