"Environmental factors regulating gaping activity of the bivalve Arctica islandica in Northern Norway"

# Each gape monitor recorderd the gaping activity of 8 specimens (there were 2 monitors)
# Channel 1- 8 had the same A.islandica specimen during all period studied (read table 1 from the paper fro more details)
# Channel 9- 16 had from 1-2 A.islandica specimens during all period studied (read table 1 from the paper fro more details)
# Average gape all channels: it was calculaetd as the mean of all the specimens available at that time.

ENVIROMENTAL FACTORS:
# Temperature (C)
# Chl-a	 (g L-1)
# TurbIdity (FTU)
# Light	(log_mol m-2 s-1)
# Salinity (PSU)	
# SeaLevel (cm) : data from the nearest tidal station (Hammerfest; http://www.kartverket.no/sehavniva/)
