72 adult Pacific oysters collected from Woolston bay in Southampton in October
2021 and fed one of three microalgal diets: Isochrysis galbana,
Nannochloropsis gaditana/oculata, or an equal mix of Isochrysis and
Nannochloropsis. Data include total weight, shell weight, internal tissue
weight, respiration rate, and expression levels of four shell-forming genes
for all oysters. Stable isotope (SI) composition of the Isochrysis galbana and
Nannochloropsis gaditana were measured, as was the SI of the stomach of
oysters fed the mixed species diet.
