This dataset contains laboratory experiment data that were collected to examine the effects of venting and decompression on Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) in the marine ornamental aquarium fish trade. Serum cortisol is used as a proxy for stress in fish. Data are untransformed serum cortisol in ng/ml in yellow tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) fish subjected to different ascent treatments (no decompression stops, ascent with one decompression stop, and ascent with many short decompression stops) coupled with venting (yes, no) in all possible (k=6) combinations.
