Data are reported on shell length (mm), dry shell weight (g), dry flesh weight (g), and condition index in mussels farmed in the Mar Piccolo of Taranto from 2004 to 2020. From 2004 to 2012 data were collected in summer in one station in the First Inlet of the basin. In 2013, data were collected in spring in the First Inlet and in summer in the Second Inlet. In 2014, data were collected in spring in the First Inlet and in summer in the Second Inlet and in the near Mar Grande. In 2015, data were collected in winter and spring in the First Inlet and in summer in the Second Inlet. Starting from 2016, data were routinely collected in spring in the First Inlet and in summer in the Second Inlet. Each season, 75 randomly selected mussels were measured, sampled from three breeding “camera” (five for each camera), at three different distances from the coastline (i.e. land, middle, off shore) (five for each distance).

The Dataset provides information about physical-chemical and biological parameters measured in the Mira estuary (Portugal) between 2010 and 2013. The results obtained provide information about the on-going processes and their evolution over time under the combined effects of human pressure and climate change, which may help provide answers regarding their sustainable use and management.

The Dataset provides information about physical-chemical and biological parameters measured in the Minho estuary (Portugal) between 2011 and 2014. The results obtained provide information about the on-going processes and their evolution over time under the combined effects of human pressure and climate change, which may help provide answers regarding their sustainable use and management.

Measurements of chlorophyll-a are part of lake monitoring, which is usually carried out by monthly sampling at many regular lake sites (5 to 17 sites depending on the intensity of the measurements over the years). The integrated sample represents the whole water column of this polymictic shallow lake with a mean lake depth of 1.2m. The photometric measurement satisfies the analytical standards of Ö-Norm in Austria.
