The Dataset's Variables and Attributes

Row Type Variable Name Attribute Name Data Type Value
attribute NC_GLOBAL access_formats String .htmlTable,.csv,.json,.mat,.nc,.tsv
attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Location:\u00a0Coastal waters of eastern Maine, from Frenchman Bay to the
Canadian border.\u00a0Locations and descriptions for station codes used in
this dataset can be found in the dataset:\u00a0[MuLTI-2 Mussel Station
List](\\"https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/658755\\")

Sampling and Analytical Methodology:\u00a0

Three settlement plates were deployed randomly along a 6 m transect in a blue
mussel (Mytilus edulis) bed at each station. Settlement plates were
constructed by gluing 3M Scotch-Brite\u2122 pad to a 1/8 inch thick and 9.7 cm
diameter piece of PVC (with a 0.95 cm diameter mounting hole) with PVC heavy
cement. Total area of each settlement plate was 73.2 cm^2. Settlement plates
were oriented North in the mussel bed to reduce sun exposure. Following
deployment, settlement plates were collected and replaced, and all newly
settled mussels on each collected plate were counted. Settlement rate was
calculated for each settlement plate at each station for each deployment.

The settlement rate was calculated for each deployment period at each station.

Extracted from the NSF award abstract:
Existing larval transport models focus mainly on along-shelf transport and have done little to explicitly incorporate the effects of cross-shelf mixing and transport processes. Yet cross-shelf transits (both outgoing and incoming legs) are critical components of the dispersal paths of coastal invertebrates. This project will explore the role of cross-shelf mixing in the connectivity of blue mussel populations in eastern Maine. Previous work has shown that the Eastern Maine Coastal Current (EMCC) begins to diverge from shore southwest of the Grand Manan Channel and creates a gradient in cross-shelf mixing and larval transport, with cross-shelf mixing being more common on the northeastern end, episodic in the transitional middle area, and then becoming rare in the southwestern half of the region of the Gulf of Maine. As a result, the investigators predict that northeastern populations of mussels are seeded mostly from up-stream sources, while a significant component of self-seeding (local retention) exists in southwestern populations. Larvae settling in the intervening bays are expected to be derived from a mixture of local and up-stream sources. Using a combined empirical and theoretical approach hydrographic, current profile, and larval vertical migration data will be collected and used to develop and validate a high-resolution coastal circulation model coupled to a model of larval behavior. The investigators will model simulations in different years using the empirical data from mussel reproductive output and spawning times. Connectivity predicted from this model will be then tested against independent empirical estimates of connectivity based on trace element fingerprinting for larvae which can be connected to specific natal habitats. Regions of agreement and discrepancy in the model will be identified to guide additional data collection and model refinement. This iterative process will ensure an understanding of both larval transport patterns and processes, and provide estimates of inter-annual variability in connectivity for blue mussel populations in the Gulf of Maine.
