Mussels (M. trossulus) were collected from Penn Cove Shellfish, Penn Cove, Coupeville, Washington, USA (48°13′N 122°42′W) and held in experimental aquaria at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, USA for up to 14 days. Mussels produced threads over the course of 4 hrs that were incubated in a range of pH conditions for up to 20 days. Adhesive plaque...

Mussels (M. trossulus) were collected from Penn Cove Shellfish, Penn Cove, Coupeville, Washington, USA (48°13′N 122°42′W) and held in experimental aquaria at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, USA for up to 14 days. Mussels produced threads over the course of 4 hrs that were incubated in a range of pH conditions for up to 20 days. Adhesive plaques were then pulled to failure to determine adhesion strength. These data accompany the manuscript (George, M.N. and Carrington, E. 2018).
