Atlantic Killifish Thermal Tolerance and Acclimation Data for 27 Individuals

27 Atlantic killifish were measured for weight, length, and critical thermal maximum across four acclimation temperatures. Data includes at least three CTMax measurements per fish at each temperature, enabling analysis of individual-level repeatability. These data support the manuscript 'Thermal acclimation affects the repeatability of upper thermal tolerance in Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus)'.

Use Cases

• Calculate individual-level repeatability of thermal tolerance based on multiple CTMax measurements per fish.
• Analyze the effect of acclimation temperature sequence on critical thermal maximum.
• Estimate the acclimation response ratio for Atlantic killifish.
• Model the relationship between fish size (weight/length) and thermal tolerance across different acclimation regimes.

Strengths

• Data includes measurements for 27 individual fish, allowing for individual-level analysis.
• CTMax was measured at least three times per fish at each of four acclimation temperatures, providing a basis for estimating repeatability.
• The dataset is the complete raw data supporting a peer-reviewed manuscript.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
