Differences in mean oxygen consumption of fed and unfed larvae used to understand the metabolic cost of digestion, Specific Dynamic Action (SDA), under ocean acidification and warming treatments

Abstract:

These data include the differences in mean oxygen consumption of fed and unfed larvae used to understand the metabolic cost of digestion, Specific Dynamic Action (SDA), under ocean acidification and warming treatments. Data was collected in the summers of 2021 and 2022 using a microplate reader system that uses optical fluorescence to measure dissolved oxygen concentrations in water. Knowing the energetic cost of digestion under future climate change is important as studies, particularly on larval fish, begin to investigate how energy budgets will change. These data help us to understand an important part of daily metabolic costs and how that cost might change under ocean acidification and warming. Data were collected by Emma Siegfried and Dr. Darren Johnson at California State University, Long Beach. These data are from Experiment 1 and they contain delta VO2 values to describe the SDA curve for a single feeding at a single temperature (20 degrees Celsius).

Methods & Sampling

To measure oxygen consumption, individual larvae were placed within chambers of a closed microplate reader system that uses optical fluorescence to measure oxygen concentration (PreSens, Germany). After a 5-minute acclimation period, the change in dissolved oxygen was measured every 30 seconds over 20 minutess. The microplate reader had 2 blocks of 24 wells.

In Experiment 1, 20 fish larvae were measured per run. In Experiment 2 (see Related Datasets), 40 fish were measured per run. For all chambers, the investigators ran a linear regression of oxygen concentration on time (n = 40 measurements). The respiration rate for each fish (VO2, expressed in milligrams of O2 per individual per hour (mg O2 ind-1 h-1)) was calculated as:

VO2 = V (S – B)

where S is the slope describing the change in O2 concentration for individual chambers with the fish,
B is the average slope for the four chambers with no fish (both in units of milligrams O2 per liter per hour (mg O2 L-1 h-1) and inferred to be per individual since each well held only one larvae), and
V is the volume of water in the chamber (1.500 × 10-3 liters (L)).

Note the displacement volume of grunion larvae in this study was <2.5 × 10-6 L and thus negligible in these calculations. Fish were assigned to each chamber at random, and larvae were used once in the respiration measurements and then humanely euthanized.

To describe the duration and magnitude of the Specific Dynamic Action (SDA) response, the investigators first calculated delta.VO2, the difference between the mean rates of oxygen consumption for the pair of fed and non-fed larvae.

These data were summarized by Siegfried and Johnson (2023) and plotted in figures 1, 3, and 5.

Data Processing Description

For all chambers, the investigators ran a linear regression of oxygen concentration on time to obtain the respiration rate of each fish. Respiration rates, referred to as VO2, were expressed in mg O2 ind-1 h-1. Average VO2 values were then calculated for groups of fed and non-fed larvae of the same age and average size, and experiencing the same seawater conditions. The difference in average VO2 values (referred to as delta VO2) provides a measure of the average energetic cost of digestion at a single time post feeding.

Supplied Name: closed microplate reader system

Supplied Description:

Oxygen consumption was measured within a closed microplate reader system that uses optical fluorescence to measure oxygen concentration (Loligo Systems, Denmark and PreSens, Germany).

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.
