Respirometry data of the sardine, Sardinops sagax

Source: R/data.R
sardine.rd.Rd

A single experiment on the sardine species Sardinops sagax in a Loligo Systems swim tunnel and Witrox oxygen probe system. There are three columns: $Time in seconds, $Oxygen content recorded in percent air saturation, and $Temperature in °C. Mean temperature, salinity and atmospheric pressure are supplied below to allow for conversion to oxygen concentration units.
