Data for fish were compiled from published studies, validated and collated. The data are global in extent. Data collection: The data have not been processed other than converting original units to SI where appropriate. For publication the data were analysed using Minitab (version 16) and R (version 4.4.2). Data quality: With the exception of the data for teleost fish, data were extracted from the literature, relying on quality control by the original compiler. The fish data were edited to exclude data where fish were active, or where the range of body mass was too small for scaling parameters to be determined with precision. asNeeded completed
