We report the results of an aquaria-based experiment testing the effects of low oxygen and suspended particles generated during a potential mining activities accident on the...

Volume (V) – weight (m) relationship of silica sand (grading 50-1000μm) used to measure G. childressi shell volume. A standardized cup of exact 0.2602 mL was used to measure 1...

Mortality/survival of animals in nutrition treatments 'm' (methane), 'a+m' (algae and methane) and 'a' (algae), that were not sacrificed for other analyses (initial animal...

A projection of larval dispersal patterns of Atlantic cold seep mussels Gigantidas childressi, G. mauritanicus, Bathymodiolus heckerae and B. boomerang was carried out for the...

These data aim at evaluating the hypothesis of long-distance dispersal across the North Atlantic and the Equatorial Atlantic belt for the cold seep mussels Gigantidas...

Cultured G. childressi wet weight – total weight relationship measured for Ci measurements in 2016

The seawater in the G. childressi culture system was enriched with methane by injection of methane-enriched air from an air-methane gas mixing device. methane concentrations...

Stable isotopes (a: δ15N, b: δ13C) of G. childressi that experienced different nutritional regimes (CH4: 'M', algae + CH4: MA', only algae: 'A') in our culture. As reference, t0...

Clearance rates of two batches (1 and 2) of cultured G. childressi mussels filtering phytoplankton. Batch 1 mussels ('small': 51 ± 3 mm SD, 'large': 77 ± 4 mm SD) received...

Valve gape activity of cultured G. childressi mussels from different nutritional treatments (CH4: 'M', algae + CH4: 'MA', algae: 'A') at changing seawater CH4 concentrations....

Valve gape activity of cultured G. childressi mussels from different nutritional treatments (CH4: 'M', algae + CH4: 'MA', algae: 'A') in response to mean steps (including both,...

Gas consumption of two batches (1 and 2) of cultured G. childressi. Batch 2 mussels were cultured under 3 different nutrition regimes (CH4, algae + CH4, only algae). Methane...

G. childressi shell length and shell thickness growth after 21 months in culture, as deduced from calcein staining marks using a Leica M165 FC stereo microscope.

Gigantidas childressi from three different nutritional treatments (cultured from August 2017 to November 2019) were sampled after 27 months of culture. The conditions index was...

Gigantidas childressi (cultured from July 2014 to August 2016) were sampled after 23 months of culture. The conditions index was calculated as the ratio of ash-free dry weight...

During culture of deep-sea mussels Bathymodiolus azoricus in November 2013, the culture system (200 L) was repetitively enriched with methane by adding 5 L CH4-saturated sea...
