Swimming performance of bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) larvae after low dose short duration exposures to HEWAF

This dataset covers GoMRI RFP II research performed at Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) during 2016 in Dr. Chesney’s lab. Bay anchovy larvae (3 and 4dph) were exposed to HEWAF at range of concentrations (0, 3, 10, 20%) for 2 hours. The larvae were assessed for overall post exposure survival and a subset of apparently healthy larvae placed as replicated groups in petri dishes filled with clean seawater and their behavior recorded from above in a shadowgraph immediately post exposure. A second group of larvae were exposed under the same conditions, moved and then held for 24hrs in clean seawater, their physical condition assessed 24 hrs post exposure and then a subset of apparently healthy larvae placed as replicated groups in petri dishes and their swimming behavior recorded.
