Description: 
The number of Mytilus larvae as calculated by the methods of Weinstock et al. 2018. The total number of bivalve larvae in the sample was multiplied by the fraction determined to be Mytilus edulis or Mytilus trossulus (the two species could not be distinguished) based on scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of larval hinge teeth. These are the raw data used for analysis.
