Description

This dataset contains site information for oyster spat settlement experiments conducted in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina in 2012.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Spat settlement collectors were constructed by affixing 2-3 wire strings, each containing 12 adult oyster shells, to private and public docks or stand-alone wooden pilings, throughout BBCPS study system. Settlement collectors were deployed on June 7th and 21st and again on August 1st and 16th of 2012 and retrieved approximately 2 weeks later as part of an ongoing settlement sampling program (Eggleston and Puckett, unpubl.data). Recovered settlement collectors were frozen until individual spat could be counted and removed from adult oyster shells with a tungsten probe. Spat were divided by collection site and collection period and refrozen at -23°C.

Instruments

Laser

Supplied Name: Teledyne ATLex 300si-x 193nm Excimer laser ablation unit

Supplied Description:

http://www.cetac.com/product_dashboard/laser-ablation.htm

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Laser

Generic Description:

A device that generates an intense beam of coherent monochromatic light (or other electromagnetic radiation) by stimulated emission of photons from excited atoms or molecules.

Mass Spectrometer

Supplied Name: Thermo-Fisher Element2 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer

Supplied Description:

Both larval and spat samples were analyzed using a Thermo-Fisher Element2 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with a Teledyne ATLex 300si-x 193nm Excimer laser ablation unit (LA ICP-MS). To correct for mass bias and instrument drift, National Institute of Technology Standards-certified standards (Reference Material 612, 614, and 616) were run at the beginning and end of every 4 slide sequence (~140 burns).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Mass Spectrometer

Acronym: Mass Spec

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB16/

Generic Description:

General term for instruments used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions; generally used to find the composition of a sample by generating a mass spectrum representing the masses of sample components.
