Abstract
This data is associated with the study "Eastern oysters minimize costs of inducible defenses by changing shell strengthening mechanism with age". Data was collected from eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica, of two age groups (four-week and eight-week-old) that were induced with chemical cues from blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, or not induced. Measurements included the Vickers hardness values of foliated and prismatic oyster shell layers, as well as the number and length of cracks resulting from hardness tests.
