©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.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).
