Grain size distribution from a fish farming area in Bolinao, Philippines, 2017-06-10 and 2017-06-11

Physicochemical parameters and relative abundance of selected nutrient cycling genes were measured in sediment and pore water samples taken from a fish farming area (Site S3 16◦23.097 N, 119◦55.551 E, depth 12.6m) and a control site (Site S1 16◦22.960 N, 119◦54.723 E, depth 15m) not influenced by fish farming. From each site, five pairs of cores representing five biological replicates were collected. One core from each pair was used for physicochemical analysis while the other cores were used for microbial community analysis. Samples from S1 were collected on 2017-06-10 and samples from S3 were collected the following day. This dataset presents grain size distribution.
