Data are from surveys in July 2014 and 2015 of whelk size distributions. Whelks were measured from apex to bottom of siphonal canal at 4 sites in haphazard quadrats until ~200 individuals of each species were measured. This sheet is the lengths of each individual whelk measured (i.e., each row is one whelk).
