Respirometry data for pelagic crustaceans, cephalopods, and fish collected on R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S from January to February 2017

Abstract:

This dataset comprises results of respirometry experiments conducted at sea using pelagic crustaceans, cephalopods, and fish collected on R/V Sikuliaq cruise SKQ201701S from January to February 2017. Experimental animals were collected using either a modified tucker trawl or MOCNESS.

Methods & Sampling

This dataset comprises results of respirometry experiments conducted at sea. Experimental animals were collected using either a modified tucker trawl or MOCNESS. Metabolic rates and critical oxygen pressures were measured using published methods (Birk et al., 2018; 2019; Wishner et al., 2018; Seibel et al., 2021). Briefly, individual specimens were placed in darkened sealed chambers filled with 0.2 μm filtered seawater that had been treated with antibiotics (25 mg/L each of streptomycin and actinomycin) to minimize bacterial respiration. The ratio of chamber size to body mass was approximately 1:20. Oxygen content was continuously monitored using Pyroscience Firesting or Presens oxygen meters and fiber optic probes with oxygen-sensitive fluorescent spots. Oxygen meters were calibrated with air-saturated seawater and concentrated Na2SO3 solution (PO2 = 0). Chamber water was mixed with magnetic stirrers (Cole-Parmer Immersible Stirrer EW-04636-50) to ensure homogenous oxygen levels throughout the chamber. Oxygen consumption rates (MO2) were calculated from the slope of PO2 over time. Only linear regressions with an R2 > 0.8 were included. The median MO2 value from non-hypoxic oxygen levels was calculated for each individual. The Pcrit for each individual was calculated using three metrics, including the traditional "breakpoint" method, the "sub-prediction interval (sub-PI)" and the alpha-method.

Data Processing Description

Data Processing:
Data were processed in R using published tools from Birk (2020). Calculated values of critical oxygen partial pressure (Pcrit) are compared among methods that use different bin sizes and/or definitions of Pcrit, as described below.

Pcrit_fixed_width: breakpoint Pcrit using 10 minute bins if total duration < 1000 minutes and 60 minute bins if total duration > 1000 minutes.

Pcrit_sub_reg: sliding bin width based on PO2. Pcrit defined as intersection of conforming line and lower 95% prediction interval bound. Outliers removed.

Pcrit_slide_width: sliding bin width based on PO2. Pcrit defined as breakpoint.

Pcrit_on_duration: breakpoint Pcrit using PO2 vs duration (biased low).

Pcrit_sub_reg_corrected: Plate Reader only - applies to runs where Pcrit was adjusted to compensate for the poor factory calibration of sensor dots.

BCO-DMO Processing:
- replaced "NA" with "nd" (no data);
- renamed fields to comply with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- converted date to YYYY-MM-DD format;
- changed year of 2027 to 2017 on line 286;
- replaced values of "15? 18?" in the Temp column with "nd".

Instruments

MOCNESS1

Supplied Name: MOCNESS

Supplied Description:

Experimental animals were collected using either a modified tucker trawl or MOCNESS.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: MOCNESS1

Acronym: MOC1

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/NETT0097/

Generic Description:

The Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System or MOCNESS is a family of net systems based on the Tucker Trawl principle. The MOCNESS-1 carries nine 1-m2 nets usually of 335 micrometer mesh and is intended for use with the macrozooplankton. All nets are black to reduce contrast with the background. A motor/toggle release assembly is mounted on the top portion of the frame and stainless steel cables with swaged fittings are used to attach the net bar to the toggle release. A stepping motor in a pressure compensated case filled with oil turns the escapement crankshaft of the toggle release which sequentially releases the nets to an open then closed position on command from the surface. -- from the MOCNESS Operations Manual (1999 + 2003).

plate reader

Supplied Name: Presens Plate Reader SY11000, SDR-547

Supplied Description:

Presens Plate Reader SY11000, SDR-547: optical oxygen meter with 24 wells (75 µl each)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: plate reader

Generic Description:

Plate readers (also known as microplate readers) are laboratory instruments designed to detect biological, chemical or physical events of samples in microtiter plates. They are widely used in research, drug discovery, bioassay validation, quality control and manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry and academic organizations. Sample reactions can be assayed in 6-1536 well format microtiter plates. The most common microplate format used in academic research laboratories or clinical diagnostic laboratories is 96-well (8 by 12 matrix) with a typical reaction volume between 100 and 200 uL per well. Higher density microplates (384- or 1536-well microplates) are typically used for screening applications, when throughput (number of samples per day processed) and assay cost per sample become critical parameters, with a typical assay volume between 5 and 50 µL per well. Common detection modes for microplate assays are absorbance, fluorescence intensity, luminescence, time-resolved fluorescence, and fluorescence polarization.

Tucker Trawl

Supplied Name: modified tucker trawl

Supplied Description:

Experimental animals were collected using either a modified tucker trawl or MOCNESS.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Tucker Trawl

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/NETT0161/

Generic Description:

The original Tucker Trawl, a net with a rectangular mouth opening first built in 1951 by G.H. Tucker, was not an opening/closing system, but shortly thereafter it was modified so that it could be opened and closed. The original had a 183 cm by 183 cm flexible rectangular mouth opening 914 cm long net with 1.8 cm stretched mesh for the first 457 cm and 1.3 cm mesh for last 457 cm. 152 cm of coarse plankton or muslin netting lined the end of the net. Tucker designed the net to collect animals associated with the deep scattering layers, principally euphausiids, siphonophores, and midwater fish. (from Wiebe and Benfield, 2003). Currently used Tucker Trawls usually have 1-m2 openings and can have a single net or multiple nets on the frame.
