Description

Surface area and porosity of hatchling squid statoliths under two pH levels.

Longfin squid, Doryteuthis pealeii, were reared under two pH levels in a laboratory setting to study the effect of ocean acidification on hatching and paralarval mantle growth and statolith condition.

This dataset is the result of M. Kaplan's WHOI summer student fellow project.

This work is also associated with project NSF OCE-1041106, "An Investigation of the Role of Nutrition in the Coral Calcification Response to Ocean Acidification".
