Lactate in Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, tissue from a long-term (7-day) trial maintained at ambient conditions, high temperature and/or high CO2

This dataset includes intracellular (tissue) lactate concentrations for Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, maintained at ambient and high temperature and CO2 levels over a 7 day period.

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) were captured during austral summers 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 by net tow off the R/V Laurence M. Gould near the Western Antarctic Peninsula and kept at Palmer Research Station.

Three experimental treatments were targeted in this study, (1) ambient temperature and ambient CO2, (2) ambient temperature and high CO2 (800ppm), (3) high temperature (3C) and ambient CO2.

Oxygen consumption is also reported for the ambient temperature/ambient CO2 treatment, at both initial and final time points, and for the ambient temperature/high CO2 treatment on day 7 (final time point).
