Abstract
These Excel files contain the raw data from two experiments investigating the effect of a bacterial infection on the behaviour and metabolic rate of Nannoperca vittata, a threatened freshwater fish from south-western Australia.
In experiment 1 there were two treatments: exposed to bacterial infection (Exposed) or not exposed (Control). Measurements of standard metabolic rate (SMR), activity (TL) and boldness (ET) were taken three times before exposure (weeks 1-3) and three times after exposure (weeks 6-8).
In experiment two there were four treatments: no lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection and normal food supply (UNF); no LPS injection and food-deprived (UFD); LPS injection and normal food supply (INF); and LPS injection and food-deprived (IFD). Measurements of standard metabolic rate (SMR) , activity (TL) and boldness (ET) were taken three times before exposure (weeks 1-3) and three times after exposure (weeks 5-7).
