Oil exposure effects on predator evasion in red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus)

This dataset will explore the effects of oil exposure predator evasion ability. A dose response swim study, using a Loligo swim tunnel, was used to verify a dose in which swim performance was impaired. That dose was then used in a predator evasion assay. A group of 10 (~1 gram) red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) were exposed for 24 hours. Following exposure, the group was placed into an arena with a sandy bottom and seagrass beds. Over a four-hour period, the location of each individual was recorded every 30 minutes. After this 4-hour period, three predators (~175 g Pinfish) were placed into the tank. Location of prey and predators, as well as prey survival, were recorded for three hours. Additionally, 16 fish (8- control and 8- 20% HEWAF) we placed in a standard dual-choice sociability assay.
