Dataset: Survival, length, and growth responses of M. menidia offspring from different females exposed to contrasting CO2 environments.

Wild-caught M. menidia adults were spawned to test whether offspring from different mothers differ in their average survival and size responses to elevated CO2 conditions. The experiment quantified three related survival and three size traits for each replicate, female, and CO2 treatment: embryo survival (fertilization to 1 dph), larval survival (1 to 16 dph), and overall survival (fertilization to 16 dph); and size (SL) at hatch (1 dph), SL at 16 dph, and larval growth rate (GR = (SL16dph – SL1dph)/15).
