BIOLOGICAL DATA to estimate the carbon dioxide budget of cultured mussels metabolism in the highly productive Northwest Iberian upwelling system. Álvarez-Salgado et al. (2022) estimate the carbon dioxide and total alkalinity budgets due to the Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovicialis) growing in suspended culture in a low seston environment such as the Galician Rías (NW Spain). This database contains the biological data needed to estimate the carbon dioxide fluxes and changes in total alkalinity induced by the different biological processes involved in mussel growth.
