Abstract:
This dataset contains laboratory experiment data that were collected to investigate the tolerance of egg and yolk-sac larval yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera) to ocean warming and acidification. Across four independent trials, yellowfin sole embryos and larvae were incubated at one of six experimental treatments spanning three temperatures (9, 12, 15°C) and two pCO2 target levels (low; high), and a range of organismal and physiological responses were measured. Embryonic daily mortality rates and metabolic rates increased with increasing temperature but were not affected by ocean acidification. At hatch and at yolk absorption, morphometric measurements (length, dry weight, myotome height, yolk area) were temperature-sensitive, but the response differed across the four trials. There was a consistent increase in length-based growth and yolk absorption rates with increasing temperature across trials. All morphometric and rate-based measurements were not affected by ocean acidification. Yellowfin sole metabolic enzyme activities were measured at yolk absorption. Lactate dehydrogenase (anaerobic metabolism) and β-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (fatty acid metabolism) both increased with increasing temperature, indicating elevated energy demand. Citrate synthase (aerobic metabolism) declined with increasing pCO2 levels, indicating potential metabolic suppression. Overall, embryonic and larval yellowfin sole demonstrated relatively high tolerance to ocean warming and acidification.
This dataset is included in the OA-ICC data compilation maintained in the framework of the IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (see https://oa-icc.ipsl.fr). Original data were downloaded from NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (see Source) by the OA-ICC data curator. In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Gattuso et al, 2024) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of carbonate system variables, as described by Nisumaa et al. (2010). In this dataset the original values were archived in addition with the recalculated parameters (see related PI). The date of carbonate chemistry calculation by seacarb is 2026-06-16.
