The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Oyster density and size distribution from the coast of North Carolina in 2010 (NCEI Accession 0278118) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains physical data collected at shoreside Virginia during deployment Cheerystone_Inlet in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2010-01-31 to 2010-12-31. These data include density. The instruments used to collect these data include Multi Corer. These data were collected by Dr Craig Tobias of University of Connecticut, Dr Michael F. Piehler of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Bongkeun Song and Mark Brush of Virginia Institute of Marine Science as part of the "Microbial Regulation of Greenhouse Gas N2O Emission from Intertidal Oyster Reefs (Oyster Reef N2O Emission)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-03-28. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Oyster density and size distribution. Dataset Description: Oyster reef data from several landscapes in coastal North Carolina. |

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: Methodology from Smyth, A. R., Piehler, M. F. and Grabowski, J. H. (2015), Habitat context influences nitrogen removal by restored oyster reefs. J Appl Ecol, 52: 716–725. doi: 10.1111/1365-2664.12435 Sediment cores (contained in 6·4-cm-diameter by 17-cm-long polycarbonate tubes, 10 cm depth) were collected adjacent to each reef habitat (n = 3) and control habitat (without reefs, n = 3) in each context at low tide on 28 June 2010. Cores collected from oyster reefs did not contain live oysters. Additionally, ~100 L of water was collected for use in the laboratory incubations. Following collection, sediment cores and water were transported to an environmental chamber (Bally, Inc., Morehead City, NC, USA) at The University of North Carolina Institute of Marine Sciences in Morehead City, NC. Surface water measurements of dissolved O2, salinity and water temperature (YSI 600 Series Sonde and Model 650 data logger; Yellow Springs Instruments, Yellow Springs, OH, USA) were also collected. Oyster density in the reef was determined by placing a 0·25-m2 quadrat on each reef (one quadrat per reef) and counting all the oysters present with a shell length >25 mm (Powers et al. 2009). |
