Description
The settlement preferences of the European oyster Ostrea edulis were analysed in laboratory experiments. Larvae were presented with following treatments: conspecific spat (FSW-SP), biofilm stones (B-ST), control stones (ST), food (FSW-F), filtered seawater (FSW), unfiltered seawater (USW), shell in filtered seawater (FSW-SU), shell in unfiltered seawater (USW-SU). Settlement of larvae and larval behaviour were observed over 72h at regular time intervals (~2.5h). The dataset is stored in a relational database in MS Access.
