Laboratory study of long-term growth in juvenile Menidia menidia (Atlantic silverside) at contrasting CO2 levels for 16 to 122 days in 2015

Abstract

These data include the total length, wet weight, and condition factor of juvenile Menidia menidia (Atlantic silverside) reared at three contrasting pCO2 levels. Experiments were performed at the University of Connecticut’s Avery Point in the Rankin Laboratory in 2015. M. menidia are a valued model species and pCO2 levels were chosen to represent the contemporary and potential future conditions of productive coastal habitats. These data were collected by Dr. Hannes Baumann of the University of Conneticut in support of the collaborative research project “Understanding the effects of acidification and hypoxia within and across generations in a coastal marine fish.
