Biometric data and sample size for the turbidity x temperature acclimation of Pugnose Shiner (see Fig. 1 for experimental design). For Phase 2 and 3, the number of tanks with a density of 5 fish is reported for each experimental treatment. For ASR and CTmax trials, the number of individual fish used is reported for each experimental treatment. Average mass (g) ± SEM as well as average standard and total length (cm) of fish are also reported per treatment. The mass and length values were only measured for fish that underwent ASR and CTmax trials and all values were averaged together.
