| Summary: | This dataset contains the results of a lab experiment performed in Ny Ålesund (Arctic, Svalbard, 78° 55′ N, 11° 56′ O) from 22.–29. August 2013. We collected early-stage thecosome pteropods (Limacina spp.) in Kongsfjord to investigate the response of their lipid metabolism (response variables: total lipids, lipid classes, fatty acids, fatty alcohols) to ocean warming and acidification (OWA). Pteropods were collected on August 21 with a 100 µm plankton net (0.2 square meter mouth opening, 1 L cod end) integrated from 300 m depth in Kongsfjord. The OWA experiment was designed to cover end-of the century projections for temperature and pCO2 and included two temperature treatments (3.5°C = mean in situ temperature averaged over the depth range where pteropods where collected from, and 5.5°C resembling a 2°C temperature increase projected for the Arctic Ocean in the upper 100-200 m, Steinacher et al. 2009, https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-6-515-2009) and three pCO2 levels chosen according to the RCP 8.5 scenario ... |
