      This data set contains behavioral and physiological responses of juvenile spiny damselfish from an experiment which investigated the effects of elevated CO₂ and temperature on the juvenile stage of a coral reef fish. The behavioral metric was percent reduction in feeding strikes after exposure to damage-released olfactory cues for a conspecific (i.e., alarm odours). The physiological metrics consisted of metabolic traits, i.e. resting and maximal oxygen uptake rates, and aerobic scope, and were measured using an intermittent flow respirometry system. The experiments were conducted at James Cook University (Townsville, Australia). The fish were collected in July 2015 and experiments were conducted January-May 2016.
