squid.rd {respR}

Respirometry data of the squid, Doryteuthis opalescens

Description

A single experiment on the squid species Doryteuthis opalescens in a Loligo Systems swim tunnel and Witrox oxygen probe system. Oxygen was recorded to very low concentrations, making this dataset suitable for determining PCrit. Experiment conducted at Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, Pacific Grove, California. Mean temperature, salinity and atmospheric pressure are supplied below to allow for conversion to oxygen concentration units.
