    • Total pH and alkalinity and other water quality, carbonate chemistry, and physiological variables collected from laboratory experiment observations using the m-cresol dye spectrophotometric and open-cell potentiometric methods and other methods in the Mid-Atlantic region from 2019-07-26 to 2019-09-12 (NCEI Accession 0301881)

    Metadata Updated: September 2, 2025

    This dataset contains discrete water sample and physiological data from a laboratory experiment that took place July 26 - September 12, 2019 to observe how ocean acidification might impact the development of juvenile eastern oysters in the Chesapeake Bay within the Mid-Atlantic region. Oysters were raised in three pH treatments, with three replicate tanks each, representing average (7.8), low (7.4), and extreme low (7.0) pH conditions within the mesohaline region of the Chesapeake Bay. Carbonate chemistry (pH (total) and total alkalinity) and water quality (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen) conditions of each tank were monitored three times per week, while physiological conditions were measured at the start of the experiment when oysters were 15 days post fertilization (dpf) and then at 18, 26, 35, and 70 dpf.
