Brief description
Data shows gross body measurements of lantern shellfish (Laternula elliptica) collected by divers at McGrady Cove; Brown Bay Inner, and Shannon Bay. Measurements include length, width, and height of shell and weight with shell on and shell off.Lineage
Progress Code: completed
Statement: Data were reformatted by Daniela Farias:
The original datasheet was reformatted to fit IPT Biodiversity.AQ standard. The new datasheet "LaternulaBodyMeasurements.csv" provides the dataset ID, decimal latitude, decimal longitude, locality, continent, country, date of event, occurrence, and basis of record. The individuals measurements provided are: length, width and height (measurement unit in cm), weight with shell and without shell (measurement unit in g). The taxonomical organisation is provided to the lowest taxonomical rank that could be determined, after matched in WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species).

Notes
PurposeShellfish were collected to analyse a weight of evidence to assess station derived contamination impact.
