Seawater carbonate chemistry and oxidative stress level and antioxidant responses in the planktonic copepod of the genus Acartia

We based our study on one of the most abundant zooplankton species Acartia bifilosa, which were collected from different depths (according to the depth of maximum copepod abundance) and times of day (night and day) during a two-week field survey in the western Gulf of Finland. We measured different biomarkers to reveal potential relationships between copepod antioxi dant defense, oxidative stress and the environmental condition (Chl a, pH, DIC, salinity, temperature) at different depth. This dataset is included in the OA-ICC data compilation maintained in the framework of the IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (see https://oa-icc.ipsl.fr). Original data were provided by the author of the related paper (see Related to) to the OA-ICC data curator. In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Gattuso et al, 2024) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of carbonate system variables, as described by Nisumaa et al. (2010). In this dataset the original values were archived in addition with the recalculated parameters (see related PI). The date of carbonate chemistry calculation by seacarb is 2024-09-02.
