Acartia tonsa body size data for transgenerational ocean warming and acidification experiments
Abstract:
These data include body size measurements collected for Acartia tonsa during multigenerational exposure to ocean warming (OW), ocean acidification (OA), and combined ocean warming and acidification (OWA) including a benign ambient condition temperature and CO2 control (AM). These data were collected every third generation between F0 and F15 and at F25 for all treatments. Data was collected on C1 juveniles (C1), adult males (C6M), and adult females (C6F). Individual copepods were stained with non-acid lugol’s solution, isolated in a drop of filtered seawater, and photographed using a Lumenera Infinity5-5 camera (Teledyne Lumenera, Ottawa, ON, CAN) attached to an inverted microscope (Olympus IX70, Olympus, Waltham, MA, USA) after the water droplet had been removed. Body size was measured as prosome length at C1 and C6 stages using Image-J (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/).
