Abstract

Data include quagga mussel food, tissue, and excretion C, N, and P concentrations from sites throughout Lakes Huron and Michigan (including Green Bay) in the spring and summer of 2019. Samples were taken along trophic status and depth gradients. Site characteristics analyzed include site depth, seston C, N, and P concentrations, chlorophyll a concentration, water temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, and mussel biomass.
