Data from: Carry-over effects of environmental stressors influence the life performance of brown trout

Here, we focused on the carry-over effects of excessive sedimentation on the early life stages of brown trout in a multiphase experiment. First, we experimentally tested the influence of fine sediments (organic matter (OM) and inorganic sand, both <2.0 mm in diameter) on the metabolic rate (MO₂), size, emergence, escape responses and survival of the relevant brown trout embryonic stage (egg, alevin or fry) in indoor experimental channels. Second, we mimicked the movements of parr to a more suitable habitat if available in natural rivers and transported parr to either their original or different treatments in outdoor experimental channels and remeasured their metabolic rate and size.
