Dataset for: Ingestion and sublethal effects of physically and chemically (Corexit) dispersed crude oil on marine planktonic copepods

This dataset reports percent mortality, egg production rates, hatching percent, and egestion rates for three species of copepods (Acartia tonsa, Temora turbinata, Parvocalanus crassirostris). Plankton were exposed to four experimental treatments for 48 hours including a control, dispersant (Corexit 9500A), dispersant plus crude oil, and crude oil alone. Zooplankton samples collected from Port Aransas, TX in August and October, 2013. Samples were collected from surface waters and larger plankton were removed using a 2000 um sieve.
