Effects of acclimation temperature and feed restriction on the metabolic performance of Green Sturgeon
Zillig, K. W., Hannan, K., Baird, S., Cocherell, D., Poletto, J., & Fangue, N. A.
UC Davis Dryad · Published March 20, 2024
Respirometry data from juvenile Green Sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris) reared at two acclimation temperatures (13°C and 19°C) and two feed rations (optimal and 40% of optimal). Includes resting metabolic rate (RMR), maximum metabolic rate (MMR), aerobic scope, factorial aerobic scope, and standard morphometric measurements. Contains all data necessary to replicate analyses from the associated manuscript.

Intraspecific variation among Chinook salmon populations indicates physiological adaptation to local environmental conditions
Zillig, K. W., FitzGerald, A. M., Lusardi, R. L., Cocherell, D. E., & Fangue, N. A.
UC Davis Dryad · Published February 20, 2024
Physiological performance data from six populations of juvenile fall-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) reared at three acclimation temperatures. Includes aerobic scope, critical thermal maximum (CTmax), growth rate, condition factor, and hematocrit, along with environmental predictor variables for each population's native habitat. One of the largest multi-population metabolic performance datasets assembled for any teleost species.

Interpopulation variation in growth, CTmax and metabolism among seasonal phenologies of Chinook Salmon
Zillig, K. W., Lusardi, R. L., Cocherell, D. E., & Fangue, N. A.
UC Davis Dryad · Published January 18, 2024
Growth, acute thermal tolerance, and metabolic performance data for juvenile Chinook salmon representing multiple seasonal run types (winter, spring, fall, late-fall). Fish were reared at common garden temperatures and measured for CTmax, resting metabolic rate, maximum metabolic rate, and aerobic scope, enabling direct comparison of physiology across run types that differ in the timing and thermal conditions of their migration.

Data from: A laser-equipped tunnel for the assessment of multiple burst swimming traits in fishes
Zillig, K. W., Cocherell, D. E., & Fangue, N. A.
UC Davis Dryad · Published January 2, 2024
Burst swimming performance data collected using a custom laser-timed swim tunnel capable of measuring multiple sprint traits simultaneously — including maximum burst speed, acceleration, and fatigue rate — across a range of water temperatures. Data support the methods validation and performance characterization described in the associated instrumentation paper, and provide a baseline dataset for temperature-dependent burst performance in juvenile Chinook salmon.
