These data characterize treatments and outcomes in laboratory-based ocean acidification experiments conducted that the NOAA NEFSC Howard Laboratory. Experiments vary by species used, scope of study (experiment duration and species’ life-stages examined), and experimental design including number of treatments, levels, and replicates, and the suite of response variables. This experiment used summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus) as subjects, one treatment (concentration of aqueous pCO2), three treatment levels (775, 1808, and 4714 uatm pCO2, pHs of 7.8, 7.5, and 7.1, respectively), three replicates (replicated downstream from each unique CO2 source), and the following response variables: survival of embryos to hatching and of larvae to age 28 d post-hatching; size, shape, and image-based developmental features of larvae; and histopathologically determined status of key organs (eye, heart, liver, gall bladder, gastro-intestinal tract, epidermis, kidney, spinal cord, and muscles) and cranio-facial and skeletal elements.
