Experiment on swimming kinematics and foraging behaviour of Atlantic herring larvae (Clupea harengus L.)

Data on kinematics of swimming behavior of Atlantic herring larvae cultured in the laboratory under three pCO2 conditions (control - 370, medium - 1800, and high - 4200 µatm) were extracted at 34 days post-hatch (dph) from swim path recordings obtained using silhouette video photography. The swim paths were analyzed for move duration, speed and length, stop duration, and horizontal and vertical turn angles to determine the effects of elevated pCO2 on fish larval behavior.
