Data from: Swimming performance of marine fish larvae: review of a universal trait under ecological and environmental pressure

The study reviews how swimming performance develops in teleost larvae. The study reviews the swimming anatomy that develops, the methods used to swim larvae, and the impacts of environmental stressors on performance.

Methodology: The study reviews how larval fishes develop the ability to swim. A systematic literature search found all relevant studies for the analysis. The review was divided into three sections. The first section investigates the anatomical and physiological structures/processes that support swimming that develops during early ontogeny of larval fishes. This was complimented with a short analysis comparing how larval fish swimming performance (i.e., average performance) differs between latitude (tropical, sub tropical and temperate). This analysis was complimented by a comparison of swimming performance between reef fishes and herring species to show the influence of latitude on swimming. These two analyses set-up the aims for the next chapter of my PhD thesis. The next aim discusses the ecological and practical applications to swimming performance metrics. The third aim uses a meta-analysis approach to investigate how environmental stressors impact swimming performance of fishes from different latitudes. 

The data consists of 4 files in comma-separated values (.csv) format and a metadata file (.txt) that includes all of the variables, labels and units.

The data files are:
