Data for Temperature Alters Thermal Tolerance and Physiological Response to Simulated Angling in Paddlefish

Data was generated from juvenile paddlefish acclimated to one of three different temperatures (13.0°C, 17.5°C, or 22.0°C) for two weeks. After which, fish were subjected to one of two experiments, one being simulated angling in which physiological parameters (stress hormones, lactate, glucose, ions, and oxygen transport parameters were evaluated in plasma or whole blood), the other experiment consisted of critical thermal maxima tests. Data set includes physiological parameters, water quality temperatures, and morphometric data generated from these experiments and fish.
