Abstract

These data include measurements of juvenile oyster shell strength from a dose response experiment of varying blue crab urine concentrations conducted at Dauphin Island Sea Lab, Dauphin Island, AL in August - Oct 2022. Study description: Metabolites from blue crab urine are known to cause shell strengthening in juvenile oysters as a defensive response. Previous studies have identified several bioactive molecules in urine that induce this response in oysters, but others have yet to be identifi...
