A negative correlation between behavioural and physiological performance under ocean acidification and warming

This data set contains behavioral and physiological responses of juvenile spiny damselfish from an experiment which investigated the effects of elevated CO₂ and temperature on the juvenile stage of a coral reef fish. The behavioral metric was percent reduction in feeding strikes after exposure to da...

Description
Summary:This data set contains behavioral and physiological responses of juvenile spiny damselfish from an experiment which investigated the effects of elevated CO₂ and temperature on the juvenile stage of a coral reef fish. The behavioral metric was percent reduction in feeding strikes after exposure to damage-released olfactory cues for a conspecific (i.e., alarm odours). The physiological metrics consisted of metabolic traits, i.e. resting and maximal oxygen uptake rates, and aerobic scope, and were measured using an intermittent flow respirometry system. The experiments were conducted at James Cook University (Townsville, Australia). The fish were collected in July 2015 and experiments were conducted January-May 2016. The full methodology is available in the Open Access publication from the Related Publications link below. "NA" in the data indicates data not obtained (e.g. pump failure) This dataset is available as a spreadsheet in MS Excel (.xlsx) and Open Document formats (.ods) This data set contains data collected by Taryn Laubenstein of James Cook University in 2016 dealing with the effects of ocean acidification and warming on the behavioral and physiological performance of juvenile spiny damselfish, Acanthochromis polyacanthus.
