We quantified the emergence response of cockles in each of these five treatments with six replicates (emergent proportion of cockles tank-1) per treatment (n = 30 tanks).  After the start of each trial, subjects were examined at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hrs for changes in burial depth; those that were partially or completely exposed at the sediment surface were considered to have exhibited an emergence response. \n\nThis dataset is associated with the following publication:\nLewis, N., and T.
