A laboratory experiment exposed fertilized black sea bass eggs to CO2 levels ranging from 182.7 μatm to 2252.6 μatm. The study measured hatch rates, unhatched eggs, and skeletal abnormalities over 48 hours, using adult fish conditioned during winters from 2012 to 2015. Data was collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Use Cases
- Modeling the relationship between CO2 concentration and hatch success based on the described exposure range
- Analyzing skeletal abnormality rates in larval fish under elevated CO2 conditions
- Investigating temporal patterns in fish spawning and gamete development across three consecutive winters
- Comparing fish sensitivity to ocean acidification during the early 48-hour developmental window
Strengths
- Experimental CO2 levels are precisely defined, ranging from 182.7 μatm to 2252.6 μatm
- Data collection spans three consecutive winters from 2012 to 2015
- Focus on a specific 48-hour exposure period for consistent measurement timing
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
