zeb_intermittent.rd {respR}

Respirometry data of a zebrafish, Danio rerio

Description

Multiple measurements (106 replicates, plus initial and end background measurements) of oxygen consumption in a zebrafish, Danio rerio, obtained using intermittent flow respirometry. Data kindly provided by Davide Thambithurai (University of Glasgow). Note, the data has been injected with random noise, and volume and mass below are not the actual values from the experiment.

Usage

zeb_intermittent.rd

Format

A data frame object consisting of 2 columns (time and dissolved oxygen) and 79251 rows (approx 22h of data).

Details

• Dissolved oxygen units: mg/L

• Time units: seconds

• Chamber volume (L): 0.12

• Specimen wet mass (kg): '0.0009

• Temperature (°C): 25

• Salinity: 0

• Atm. Pressure (bar): 1.013253

Replicate structure (Rows - Experiment section):

• 1:4999 - Start background recording

• 5000:5839 - First replicate for MMR (14 mins duration)

• 5840:75139 - 105 further replicates of 11 minutes duration each (660 rows)

• 75140:79251 - End background recording

Each replicate comprises a measurement period (12 minutes for replicate 1, 9 minutes for all others) plus 2 minutes flush.
