Brief description
This data set contains data collected by Taryn Laubenstein of James Cook University in 2017 dealing with the effects of ocean acidification and warming on the behavioral and physiological performance of larval yellowtail kingfish.
Full description
This data set contains behavioral and physiological responses of larval yellowtail kingfish from an experiment which investigated the effects of elevated CO₂ and temperature on the larval stage of a large pelagic fish. The behavioral metrics were measured using an open field test, and consisted of activity, as measured by distance traveled, average velocity, and time spent active, as well as boldness, as measured by time spent in the inner zone of the arena. The physiological metrics were measured using an intermittent flow respirometry system, and consisted of metabolic traits, i.e. resting and maximal oxygen uptake rates, and aerobic scope. The experiments were conducted at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) Northland Marine Research Centre in Ruakaka, New Zealand. Data collection took place in February 2017.
