Data from Ammonia Toxicity exposures with Threatened, Endangered, and At-Risk Freshwater Mussels with a Co-stressor of an Elevated Temperature or Metal Mixture Data from Ammonia Toxicity exposures with Threatened, Endangered, and At-Risk Freshwater Mussels with a Co-stressor of an Elevated Temperature or Metal Mixture
This dataset provides water-quality measurements and biological response data from 96-hour acute and 7-day chronic laboratory toxicity tests evaluating the effects of ammonia on juvenile freshwater mussels under multiple environmental stressors. Tests were conducted with Green Floater (Lasmigona subviridis), Neosho Mucket (Lampsilis rafinesqueana), and Fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea)...
Respiration and Clearance Rate Data from Subadult Fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea) at Two Different Temperatures Respiration and Clearance Rate Data from Subadult Fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea) at Two Different Temperatures
This data release contains respiration and clearance rate data collected from laboratory experiments. Fatmucket mussels (Lampsilis siliquoidea) were placed in sealed containers to determine their oxygen consumption and excretion rates at two different environmentally relevant temperatures. Mussels were then placed into containers with food to determine how quickly they consume 2-60...

The dataset is comprised of 1,835 records of individual fishes collected by boat electrofishing at 36 sites in Bastrop, Travis, Fayette, and Colorado counties from December 2014 through September 2017. Each record reports the collection date, county, river basin, gear type, scientific name...
Known age, pond-spawned Gray Redhorse (Moxostoma congestum) length data Known age, pond-spawned Gray Redhorse (Moxostoma congestum) length data
This dataset comprises 20 records of length and weight measurements from juvenile Gray Redhorse (Moxostoma congestum) derived from Colorado River, Texas parentage. These individuals were spawned in April 2021 and measured at the time of sacrifice in July 2022. Each record reports common name, scientific name, total length in millimeters, weight in kilograms, sex and maturity stage...

The orthoimagery, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Lincoln Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Photos were collected in August 2021, prior to planned ecological restoration within the Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern. Aerial images were collected using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at an elevation of approximately 100 meters above the study site...
Otter Creek pre-restoration orthomosaic and elevation products for the Maumee Area of Concern, Toledo, Ohio, September 2020 Otter Creek pre-restoration orthomosaic and elevation products for the Maumee Area of Concern, Toledo, Ohio, September 2020
The orthomosaic, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Otter Creek in Toledo, Ohio in September 2020, prior to planned ecological restoration. The study site is part of the Maumee Area of Concern being restored as part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Aerial images were collected using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at an elevation of...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of invasive bigheaded carp (Hypophthalmichthys spp.) before and after the 2018 mass removal effort at Creve Coeur Lake, St. Louis County, Missouri Environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring of invasive bigheaded carp (Hypophthalmichthys spp.) before and after the 2018 mass removal effort at Creve Coeur Lake, St. Louis County, Missouri
Data describe environmental DNA (eDNA) concentrations from invasive silver (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (H. nobilis), collectively called bigheaded carps (Hypophthalmichthys spp.), from Missouri’s Creve Coeur Lake and Mallard Lake before and after a mass carp removal effort in 2018 at Creve Coeur Lake (2018-01-29). Six sampling trips occurred from 2017-2018, with 3...
