Bioenergetics parameters and concentrations of metabolic intermediates in the whole body of Mytilus edulis exposed to different combinations of nZnO and oxygen regime

Coastal ecosystems face increasing threats from anthropogenic pollution and environmental stressors like hypoxia and nanoparticle exposure. The Baltic Sea exemplifies these challenges due to nutrient pollution and hypoxia. We investigated the combined effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) and hypoxia on bioenergetics and metabolite homeostasis of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis from the Baltic Sea. Mussels were first exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of nZnO (100 µg Zn L^-1) and subsequently subjected to short-term (24 h) or long-term (7 d) hypoxia (<0.1% air saturation) followed by recovery periods (1 h and 24 h).  The data set provides data on bioenergetics parameters and concentrations of metabolic intermediates in the whole body of mussels exposed to different combinations of nZnO and oxygen regime (C- control, H1 - 1 day of hypixia, H7 - 7 days of hypoxia, R1 - 1 h of reoxygenation, R24- 24 h of reoxygenation)
