Data derived from a study aimed to detect differences in thermal tolerance by investigating the underlying metabolic responses in the green abalone (Haliotis fulgens) under conditions of hypoxia and hypercapnia. Juvenile abalones were exposed to a temperature ramp (+3 °C day−1) under hypoxia (50% air saturation) and hypercapnia (~1000 μatm pCO2), both individually and in combination. Impacts on energy metabolism were assessed by analyzing whole animal respiration rates and metabolic profiles of gills and hepatopancreas via 1H NMR spectroscopy.The experiments are depicted as warming (warming ramp under normoxic normocapnia), hypoxia (warming ramp under hypoxic normocapnia), hypercapnia (warming ramp under normoxic hypercapnia), and combined (warming ramp under hypoxic hypercapnia). Each experiment was accompanied by a Control group, which was exposed to the same water PO2 and PCO2 but at a stable temperature (18 °C).
