Data

Data include grass carp position and sampling data from 2022 to 2023. We used grass carp that were implanted with acoustic transmitters. The position data was generated in Fathom Position from receivers that composed several VEMCO Positioning Systems (VPS). We also queried the Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation Network (GLATOS) to obtain non-VPS position detections from receivers...

The products presented here document conditions at the Big Bend restoration site on the Jordan River, West Jordan, Utah in January, 2022. Multiband imagery was collected shortly after the initiation of restoration actions. Images were collected using a 3DR Solo unoccupied aerial system (UAS) at a height approximately 400 feet above the surface of the Jordan River flood plain using a...

This dataset includes files associated with a 21-day nutrient diffusing substrate experiment run in Pear Lake of Sequoia National Park, California in summer 2022. The experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of different treatment levels of a macronutrient (nitrogen) and a micronutrient (copper) on periphyton growth and community structure in an alpine lake. While the effects of...

These RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data were collected to better understand how exposure to environmentally relevant doses of nitrate affects the brain transcriptome in fathead minnows. Fish were exposed to nominal doses of 0, 2, 5, 10, 25, or 100 mg/L nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N), added to flow-through well water as sodium nitrate. Transcriptomic data were collected from three experiments that...

This dataset includes eDNA concentrations of water samples from an experimental release of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) slurry used to analyze eDNA transport in the Big Piney River, Missouri. The spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta) was also included as a target species due to the proximity of a known spectaclecase population at the slurry release site. The slurry, a frozen block...

In January 2023, the USGS demonstrated the use of side-scan sonar and down-imaging sonar to locate and quantify fish including invasive carp. A dike pool in the study area was surveyed (254-meter reach) using a Humminbird Helix sonar system. Sonar surveys included concurrent recordings of side-scan and down-imaging sonar. Proprietary sonar data were converted to PNG image files (i.e...

These data were collected to determine the effect of nitrapyrin, a commercial nitrification inhibitor, on nitrification by a diverse nitrifier-enriched microbial (NEM) community. The NEM community was originally collected from an aquaculture pond in Columbia, Missouri and cultured in HEPES-buffered, minimal mineral salts media, supplemented with a nominal dose of 2 milligrams per liter...

This data set contains toxicity data from short term 7-day chronic water-only bioassays to assess the effects pH on ammonia toxicity to survival and growth of a juvenile fatmucket mussel (Lampsilis siliquoidea). We conducted 4 concurrent exposures at nominal pHs of 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, and 8.5 with varying ranges of ammonia to capture effect concentrations. This data set has three tables: (1)...

Prey survival rates relative to season, habitat and species of predator from eighteen two-week experiments, from April-October in 2015 and 2016, that were conducted in experimental ponds with differing habitats of artificial structure, vegetation, or no habitat combinations.

Endangered pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) spawning habitats were mapped on the Tongue River near Miles, City Montana June in 2023 and 2024. Data quantify the physical characteristics of the river channel and flow; depth, velocity and habitat assessments using single-beam sonar, acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) in 2023 and single-beam sonar in 2024. Real-time kinematic...

This data release includes sampling location data, the information about sequenced organisms and the SRA accession number for the 16S whole-organism sequencing data for larval aquatic insects, emergent adult insects, and two riparian spiders from Torch Lake and Gratiot Lake (N=3 sites at each Lake). Torch Lake (Houghton County, Keweenaw Peninsula, Michigan, USA) is a Great Lakes Area of...

Data include position data from a VEMCO Positioning Systems (VPS) array at the mouth of the Lamine River. The array was deployed September 3rd and retrieved October 2nd. Position data was generated for all tagged fish detected in the VPS array using Fathom Position software. The data includes 3946 positions for 26 detected tags. The array was deployed as part of a project to remove...
