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 years 2023 and...
Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) Locations in Earthen Ponds Exposed to Three Acoustic Signals, June though August, 2018 Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) Locations in Earthen Ponds Exposed to Three Acoustic Signals, June though August, 2018
This data set includes acoustic telemetry positions for silver carp ranging in total length from 251 to 359 mm (mean = 294 mm) and weight 131 – 427 g (mean = 231 g) tagged with 795-LD transmitters in four earthen ponds at the Columbia Environmental Research Center, Columbia, MO, USA. Positions were monitored using a 16-hydrophone array in each pond before and during a series of trials...
Invasive Cyprinid fishes auditory evoked potentials and behavioral thresholds in a lab Invasive Cyprinid fishes auditory evoked potentials and behavioral thresholds in a lab
This data set contains auditory evoked potentials for four species of invasive carp; silver carp, black carp, grass carp, bighead carp, as well as goldfish (100-150 millimeters in total length) and behavioral thresholds on goldfish in a tank (dimensions 240 centimeters X 100 centimeters; depth of 25 centimeters) at the Columbia Environmental Research Center, Columbia, MO USA. Ambient...
Active relocations and tagging data for Black Carp Mylopharyngodon piceus; 2019-2023 Active relocations and tagging data for Black Carp Mylopharyngodon piceus; 2019-2023
This dataset represents active relocations of acoustic and radio telemetry tagged Black Carp among the Mississippi and Missouri rivers near their confluence. These river segments consist of both open river and impounded habitat present during observed hydrologic conditions from 2019-2023. Relocations were primarily on a monthly interval with initial weekly relocations during the first...
Behavioral responses to different sensory stimuli in larval Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella Behavioral responses to different sensory stimuli in larval Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella
Sensory input and systems are critical for organisms to respond to their environment, allowing movement to suitable habitat and potential escape from predators. While many stages of grass carp ontogeny have been described, neurosensory development remains unclear. Using behavioral tests, we looked at phonotaxis and chemotaxis from initial gas bladder inflation to the development of the...
Water chemistry, stable isotopes, and trace metals in sediment, water and biota in Torch Lake and Gratiot Lake, Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan, USA, July and October 2021 Water chemistry, stable isotopes, and trace metals in sediment, water and biota in Torch Lake and Gratiot Lake, Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan, USA, July and October 2021
This data release includes sampling location data, laboratory processed surface water chemistry data (anions, cations, total nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, deuterium, trace metals), laboratory processed pore water chemistry data (anions, cations, total nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, trace metals), laboratory process sediment data (trace metals), and whole-body trace metal...
Contaminants measured in multiple environmental media in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area NV/AZ, USA in 2010 Contaminants measured in multiple environmental media in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area NV/AZ, USA in 2010
Concentrations of a wide variety of environmental organic contaminants were measured in surface waters of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area (Nevada and Arizona) in 2010 to provide a measure of exposure to resident fish species. These contaminants were sampled using the semipermeable membrane device (SPMD) and the polar organic chemical integrative sampler (POCIS) which allow for the
Grass carp capture and life history traits in the Lake Erie watershed, 2017-2023, and in the Mississippi, Missouri, and Lamine Rivers within the state of Missouri, 2022 Grass carp capture and life history traits in the Lake Erie watershed, 2017-2023, and in the Mississippi, Missouri, and Lamine Rivers within the state of Missouri, 2022
From 2017-2023, a total of 934 Grass Carp were removed from the Lake Erie basin and tributaries, and 159 were captured in the Mississippi, Missouri, and Lamine Rivers within the state of Missouri in 2022. For each captured fish we documented capture location, water temperature; we measured total length and total weight. Length data was used to assess the removal efforts in Lake Erie. A...
Water quality and toxicity data to assess the potential effect of nitrogen on juvenile freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in the Buffalo National River, Arkansas from September 16 2019 to November 20, 2020 Water quality and toxicity data to assess the potential effect of nitrogen on juvenile freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in the Buffalo National River, Arkansas from September 16 2019 to November 20, 2020
The Buffalo National River in Arkansas was established as the first national river in 1972 and later designated as an Extraordinary Resource Water with a Wild and Scenic section in the upper portion. The Buffalo National River's water quality database indicates nitrogen compounds have increased since the 1980s. This study aimed to investigate the potential threat of elevated nutrients...
Data on the behavior of grass carp, silver carp, and bighead carp during laboratory exposures to the amino acids L-alanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, and L-glutamic acid Data on the behavior of grass carp, silver carp, and bighead carp during laboratory exposures to the amino acids L-alanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, and L-glutamic acid
These data pertain to behavior trials conducted on three different species of invasive carp in a laboratory setting between the dates of 29 April 2021 to 14 December 2021. The three species tested were grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon Idella), bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix). The amino acids L-alanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, and L‑glutamic acid...
Zebrafish length and pericardial area data observed through high content screening in experimental 384 well plates exposed to different pesticides for 72 hour Zebrafish length and pericardial area data observed through high content screening in experimental 384 well plates exposed to different pesticides for 72 hour
These data describe the results of a controlled laboratory experiment evaluating the effect of pesticides on the development of zebrafish. Parameters described include the length of the fish and the pericardial area of the fish.
Bird detections from multi-species point surveys at lowland forest restoration sites, Indiana, United States, April – June 2016, with resampling code Bird detections from multi-species point surveys at lowland forest restoration sites, Indiana, United States, April – June 2016, with resampling code

The data are a single monitoring occasion with the purpose of documenting bird communities across these sites. During the time of collection, sites contained areas of hardwood planting ranging in age...
