Dataset For: Combined effects of Deepwater Horizon crude oil exposure, temperature and developmental stage on oxygen consumption of embryonic and larval mahi-mahi

The timing and location of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) incident within the Gulf of Mexico pelagic zone likely resulted in exposure of commercially and ecologically important fish species, such as mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) during the sensitive early life stages. A 24-channel optical fluorescence oxygen sensing system for high through-put respiration measurements was used to investigate the individual and combined effects of oil exposure, temperature and developmental stage on oxygen consumption rates in embryonic and larval mahi-mahi. This dataset reports oxygen concentrations that can be used to calculate embryonic oxygen consumption (picomol inidiv-1 min-1) rates for 2 temperature treatments and 3 oil concentration treatments for day 1 (0-24 hr), day 2 (24 -48 hr) post-fertilization (hpf) mahi-mahi embryos and for recently hatched larvae (~50 hpf). Nitrogenous waste data is also reported for larvae exposed to different concentrations of oil and different temperature treatments. This data is reported as ammonia, urea and total nitrogenous waste excretion (picomol inidiv-1 min-1).
