This study tested which mechanism, hardness or thickness, juvenile eastern oysters use to strengthen their shells in response to chemical cues from predators. Data were collected from eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica, grown in a nursery in Dauphin Island, Alabama, USA with or without exposure to chemical cues from blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus. Two age groups (four-week and eight-week-old post-settlement) of juveniles were included in this study. Oyster shell thickness overall and within both shell layers were measured.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nAge_group (unitless)\nID (unitless)\nMeasurement_Num (unitless)\nGrid_Num (unitless)\nOverall_Angle (degrees)\nOverall_Length (micrometers)\nFoliated_Angle (degrees)\nFoliated_Length (micrometers)\nPrismatic_Angle (degrees)\nPrismatic_Length (micrometers)\n | BCO-DMO | bcodmo_dataset_939528_v1 |
