These data comprise the physiology-based measurements made on the cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. and Synechococcus sp., the pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, and the coccolithophore Emiliana huxleyi. A variety of experimental manipulations were carried out in order to investigate the mechanisms underlying thermally-induced physiological responses and various physiological traits were characterised.

The quantities of key biologically active elements, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen, were measured from batches of eggs from the Antarctic Krill, Euphausia superba. These krill were collected in the "Western Core Box" krill time series region, an area to the north-west of South Georgia, on the RRS James Clark Ross research cruise JR17002 in the summer (January) 2018. Eggs were collected from ship board incubation experiments. Maternal parasite assemblage and load was determined using DNA metabarcoding. Krill with higher loads of apicomplexa and ciliate parasites laid eggs with lower quantities of carbon and nitrogen. These lower quality eggs may have lower survival and recruitment success, suggesting a mechanism by which parasites may influence krill population dynamics. Funding source: This research was supported by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 887760 (ParaKrill).
