Description: 
Spat length was measured for ten randomly selected spat in each experimental unit (treatment combination and replicate). The reported size is the spat length (hinge to growing edge) in micrometers (um) for the average across the ten measured spat. The duration of time for the experiment was 3 weeks (21 days), meaning the difference in growth from initial to final size is the average growth over 21 days.
