These data include body size measurements collected for Acartia hudsonica during multigenerational exposure to ocean warming (OW), ocean acidification (OA), and combined ocean warming and acidification (OWA) including a benign ambient condition temperature and CO2 control (AM). These data were collected every second generation between F0 and F4 for all treatments and at F11 for AM and OWA. Data were collected on C1 juveniles (C1), adult males (C6M), and adult females (C6F). Individual copepods were stained with non-acid lugol's solution, isolated in a drop of filtered seawater, and photographed using a Lumenera Infinity5-5 camera (Teledyne Lumenera, Ottawa, ON, CAN) attached to an inverted microscope (Olympus IX70, Olympus, Waltham, MA, USA) after the water droplet had been removed. Body size was measured as prosome length at C1 and C6 stages using Image-J (https://imagej.nih.gov/). The experimental environmental conditions were: 1) Ambient control (AM): 13˚C, 400 µatm CO2, pH = 8.2; 2) Ocean Acidification ...
