Figure 1

Behaviour of blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) neonates measured under various temperatures and partial pressures of carbon dioxide (pCO2). Relative (LR; a) and absolute (LA; b) lateralisation indices, and activity levels (overall dynamic body acceleration, ODBA; c) were quantified for sharks acclimated to ambient (28 °C and 650 µatm pCO2), high pCO2 (28 °C and 1050 µatm pCO2), high temperature (31 °C and 650 µatm pCO2), and high temperature and high pCO2 (31 °C and 1050 µatm pCO2) conditions for 7–13 days. Dots represent individual observations.
