The data originates from a mesocosm-experiment on the food web from the Baltic sea (from plankton to fish). The food web was exposed for organic contaminants and treated with different scenarios mimicing future climate changes (temperature- and dissolved organic carbon-treatments). The data files contains information on water chemistry and biological responses over time, as well as data specifically on fish survival and organic contaminant concentrations in fish and water.
