The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) and zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) shell and tissue measurements collected from R/V LAKE GUARDIAN in Lake Erie in the Great Lakes region from 2024-07-16 to 2024-07-21 (NCEI Accession 0301561) |
| Abstract: | Invasive dreissenid mussels (quagga mussels, Dreissena rostriformis bugensis and zebra mussels, D. polymorpha) were introduced to the Laurentian Great Lakes in the 1980’s and have since spread throughout the Great Lakes basin and across North America. Here we present shell length, shell weight, and tissue weights from 211 quagga mussels collected from 11 stations and 25 zebra mussels collected from one station in Lake Erie in 2024. Stations were selected to cover different depth zones and geographic regions of the lake. The overall goal of the study was to be able to develop depth and region-specific allometric relationships among shell length, shell weight, and tissue weight values. The data presented here are part of an on-going collection of data starting in Lake Michigan in 2015 and collected annually in conjunction with the Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative cycle around the Great Lakes. Depth was recorded upon arrival at each station. Mussels were then collected from the lake bottom using a Ponar grab sampler (area ~ 0.05 m2). Multiple samples were taken at each station to obtain a sufficient number and size range of individuals. Mussels were then hand picked from the sediments or rinsed over a 500-3000 μm sieve to remove sediments. The mussels were wrapped in wet paper towels and placed in plastic containers in a 4℃ incubator. The mussels were processed in the laboratory within 48 hours of collection. |
