The data was collected using respirometry experiments conducted in captivity at Mote Marine Laboratory, Sarasota, FL, USA and semi-captivity at Bimini Biological Field Station, South Bimini, BHS (details in manuscript). Throughout trials, oxygen saturation (mg L^-1) and temperature (deg C) were recorded by a multiparameter meter and body acceleration (<em>g</em>) was recorded by a Cefas G6a+ acceleration data logger. Mass of animals was weighed before and after trials, and the mean mass is included in the data set. <br>Prior to analysis, acceleration data was corrected for sensor noise by subtracting the mean acceleration value during periods when the shark was observed motionless within the respirometer (0.01827 <em>g</em>).Using this data, <em>V</em>O2 (mg O² hr^-1) were estimated and temperature corrected to 29.5 deg C, using equations and Q₁₀ values stated within the manuscript.<br>Note: Background respiration levels and R2 for oxygen degradation curves are missing for trials conducted at Mote Marine Laboratory. Estimated <em>V</em>O2 (mg O2 hr-1) were supplied by Lear et al. <em>JEB </em>(2017) for use in this study.<br>
