Data

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

These data are comprised of measurements of elements (e.g., uranium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, lead, etc.), major anions (chloride, nitrite+nitrate as nitrogen, sulfate, etc.), organic carbon, and general water quality parameters measured in Pinyon Plain Mine containment pond water, sediment, vegetation, and aquatic invertebrate samples collected in calendar year 2025.

This data release includes the 16S whole-organism sequencing data for larval aquatic insects, emergent adult insects, and two riparian spiders from upstream and downstream sites of a PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) source (treated industrial wastewater). Data are published on NCBI SRA database under bioproject number PRJNA1257314, Biosample accession numbers SAMN48245356 -...

This data release contains individual freshwater mussel data used in an augmentation effort within the Clinton River watershed located near Detroit, Michigan in September 2024. Mussels were individually tagged with a unique identification tag, and a subset of mussels received a passive integrated transponder tag to be able to detect their location in June 2024. All mussels were measured...

This dataset represents active relocations of telemetry tagged Black Carp in the Mississippi and Osage rivers of Missouri and efforts to recapture these tagged fish for recovery of data logging tags by a suite of gears and techniques. We actively relocated tagged fish and targeted individuals with gill nets and trammel nets with electrofishing or physical disturbance of the water column...

Data describe the detection of female mitotypes from spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta) and mucket (Ortmanniana ligamentina) freshwater mussel environmental DNA (eDNA) from water samples collected from the Big Piney River in Pulaski County, MO, U.S.A. Water samples were collected from 3 sites known to contain the target species. Sampling transects spanned from 100 meters upstream of...

Accurate age estimation is crucial for understanding fish population dynamics, yet daily age validation for invasive Grass Carp in the Midwestern U.S. is lacking. We validated daily otolith increment deposition in known-age Grass Carp reared in laboratory and pond environments. Larval Grass Carp from captive broodstock were sampled between 6- and 120-days post-hatch. Lapilli otoliths...
