Mean (+ SE) reproductive investment (a, b; measured as total gonad weight standardised by fish total length), energy storage (c, d; measured as liver weight standardised by fish total length), muscle tissue protein content (e, f), short-term growth (g, h; measured as muscle tissue RNA:DNA ratios), cellular antioxidant defence (i, j; measured as muscle tissue total antioxidant capacity), and cellular oxidative damage (k, l; measured as muscle tissue malondialdehyde levels) of fishes collected from controls and CO 2 vents, for females (a, c, e, g, i, k) and males (b, d, f, h, j, l) for 3 benthic fish species. None of the physiological measurements differed between controls and vents for any of the 3 species. See S1 Table for statistical results and S1 Data for the underlying data. (PDF)
