Dataset For: Responses of bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) larvae under lethal and sub-lethal scenarios of crude oil exposure

Two types of experiments were conducted using Bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli): In exposure experiments, larvae were exposed to high energy water accommodated fractions (HEWAF) and chemically-enhanced WAF (CEWAF) at two stages of larval development (5 and 21 days post hatch, dph) and numbers of live, dead, and moribund larvae were enumerated. In growth rate experiments, larvae were exposed to low concentrations of CEWAF for 24 hours, grown for 6 days in clean water and then assessed for mortality, and several measures of size (notochord length, total length, dry weight). Samples from the exposure experiments were analyzed for alkane and aromatic hydrocarbons.
