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...
Biliary PAHs in white perch collected in Chesapeake Bay and Albemarle Sound, North Carolina, 2022-2023 Biliary PAHs in white perch collected in Chesapeake Bay and Albemarle Sound, North Carolina, 2022-2023
Biliary concentrations of naphthalene, phenanthrene, and benzo[a]pyrene equivalents measured in white perch (Morone americana) collected in Chesapeake Bay (April to August 2022) and Albemarle Sound, NC (March 2023). Data include measured concentrations in each sample and associated QA/QC measurements for analytical chemistry.
Pickle Pond pre-restoration orthomosaic and elevation products, Superior, Wisconsin, July 2021 Pickle Pond pre-restoration orthomosaic and elevation products, Superior, Wisconsin, July 2021
The orthomosaic, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Pickle Pond, part of the Saint Louis River Area of Concern in Superior, Wisconsin. Aerial images were collected in July 2021, prior to planned ecological restoration, using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at a nominal elevation of approximately 100 meters above the surface of the lake water...
Invasive carp mainstem habitat layers in the Lower Missouri, Middle Mississippi, Upper Mississippi, and Illinois rivers, compiled and modified by University of Missouri and U.S. Geological Survey, 2024 (ver. 2.0, June 2026) Invasive carp mainstem habitat layers in the Lower Missouri, Middle Mississippi, Upper Mississippi, and Illinois rivers, compiled and modified by University of Missouri and U.S. Geological Survey, 2024 (ver. 2.0, June 2026)
This dataset consists of categorical mainstem habitat layers from the Lower Missouri, Middle Mississippi, Upper Mississippi, and Illinois rivers compiled or developed from imagery and topo bathymetric data to quantify the mainstem riverine habitat available to bighead carp, black carp, grass carp, or silver carp. Layers consist of engineered control structures, categorical habitats at an...
Data from In Situ and Laboratory Bioassays with Fatmucket for an Augmentation Effort in the Clinton River Watershed, near Detroit Michigan, from July to October 2023 Data from In Situ and Laboratory Bioassays with Fatmucket for an Augmentation Effort in the Clinton River Watershed, near Detroit Michigan, from July to October 2023
This data release contains biological information collected in the field during a 78-day in situ mussel exposure. We collected length and survival data from Fatmucket that were held in mussel silos from five potential mussel augmentation sites in the Clinton River watershed, near Detroit, Michigan. Additionally, this data release contains data from a 28-day laboratory sediment bioassay...
Pickle Pond pre-restoration orthomosaic and elevation products, Superior, Wisconsin, September 2020 Pickle Pond pre-restoration orthomosaic and elevation products, Superior, Wisconsin, September 2020
The orthoimagery, digital surface model and point cloud presented here document conditions at Pickle Pond in Superior, Wisconsin in August 2020, prior to planned ecological restoration. Aerial images were collected using a DJI Phantom with FC6310 sensor at a nominal elevation of approximately 70 meters above the surface of the lake water. Data were processed using structure-from-motion...
Seasonal sampling for freshwater mussel environmental DNA at Bennett Island in the Clinch River, Virginia, USA 2020-2022 Seasonal sampling for freshwater mussel environmental DNA at Bennett Island in the Clinch River, Virginia, USA 2020-2022
We tested eDNA metabarcoding as a monitoring tool to detect freshwater mussel assemblages at the Bennett Island site on the Clinch River. Sampling occurred seasonally from July 2020 through October 2022. We filtered 1L water samples 100 meters upstream and 100 meters downstream of the known mussel assemblage. We amplified and sequenced data at the ND1 and COI markers (Klymus et al., 2021...
