Survival of juvenile mussels (Lampsilis siliquoidea) exposed to 6PPD and transformation products Survival of juvenile mussels (Lampsilis siliquoidea) exposed to 6PPD and transformation products
This data set includes mortality data from acute toxicity tests with juveniles of the mussel, Lampsilis siliquoidea exposed to 6PPD and 6PPDQ. Concurrently collected analytical chemistry and general water quality measurements are included.
Detection and quantification of 6PPD-quinone in small mouth bass and whole-body coho salmon fry using two sample preparation methods, accelerated solvent extraction and sonication with centrifugation extraction Detection and quantification of 6PPD-quinone in small mouth bass and whole-body coho salmon fry using two sample preparation methods, accelerated solvent extraction and sonication with centrifugation extraction
Concentrations of 6PPD-quinone, a primary transformation product of the rubber tire additive 6PPD, were measured in small mouth bass that were not exposed to 6PPD-quinone and used as quality control fish matrix for method optimization and in whole-body coho salmon fry that were exposed to known water concentrations of 6PPD-quinone during 96-hour acute toxicity exposures. Two different...
Data supporting the validation of First Annulus of Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella and Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Data supporting the validation of First Annulus of Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella and Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix
A total of 83 Grass Carp and 92 Silver Carp were collected monthly from stocked ponds at Columbia Environmental Research Center. Length, weight, and collection date were recorded. The dorsal-fin rays and lapilli otoliths were collected from these specimens for the purpose of aging. An additional set of dorsal-fin rays and lapilli otoliths from Grass Carp collected in Truman Reservoir...
Upper Missouri River Velocity Data in Support of Fort Peck Test Flow larval release, June 2024 Upper Missouri River Velocity Data in Support of Fort Peck Test Flow larval release, June 2024
Flows at Fort Peck Dam, Montana, were modified in 2024 to include additions of warm epilimnetic reservoir releases over the spillway of the dam as part of a series of flow tests to improve habitat conditions in the Upper Missouri River for pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus). We measured velocity and discharge on June 22 and June 23 in the Upper Missouri River and Fort Peck Dam...
Survival, neonate counts, and water quality measurements in controlled exposures to long-term wildland fire retardants to Ceriodaphnia dubia Survival, neonate counts, and water quality measurements in controlled exposures to long-term wildland fire retardants to Ceriodaphnia dubia
We investigated the survival and reproductive success of Ceriodaphnia dubia that were exposed to a concentration series of four current-use fire retardants (Phos-Chek 259-Fx Phos-Chek MVP-Fx, Phos-Chek LC95A-Fx, and Phos-Chek LC95A-R) to determine if exposure duration and concentration of the product altered the survival of C. dubia and the number of neonates produced by C. dubia. We...
Detection of Cumberlandia monodonta male mitotype eDNA from an outdoor raceway tank during a spawning event Detection of Cumberlandia monodonta male mitotype eDNA from an outdoor raceway tank during a spawning event
Data describe the detection of Spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta) female and male mitotype environmental DNA (eDNA) during a spawning event. Water samples (approximately 1L) were collected from an outdoor raceway tank containing C. monodonta from March to April 2021 and analyzed for the presence of sex-specific eDNA. Parameters described in this data release include water quality...
Fish target lengths of Silver Carp derived from Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar in backwater embayments of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, Kentucky, 2022 February 18–23 Fish target lengths of Silver Carp derived from Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar in backwater embayments of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, Kentucky, 2022 February 18–23
This dataset represents fish targets (presumed Silver Carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) recorded using Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar (ARIS; Sound Metrics, Bellevue, WA) in five backwater embayments of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, KY (2022 February). A surface-to-bottom block net was set across embayments in a “chevron” shape pointed upstream to guide fish movements downstream...
Water Quality Data from the Clinton River watershed near Detroit, MI Water Quality Data from the Clinton River watershed near Detroit, MI
This data release contains water quality data collected in the field during an in-situ mussel exposure. We collected dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, and water depth data using a sensor silo to assess habitat conditions for a potential mussel restoration. Additionally, we collected particle count data to quantify food availability for mussels and water quality data...
Water temperature in the Upper Missouri, Milk, and Yellowstone Rivers, and associated air temperature and discharge data Water temperature in the Upper Missouri, Milk, and Yellowstone Rivers, and associated air temperature and discharge data
The data set contains measurement locations and measurements of daily and sub-daily water temperature, daily river discharge, and daily air temperature for several sites in the Upper Missouri River basin of Montana and North Dakota, 2001-2022. Water temperature sites include: the Missouri River upstream from Fort Peck Reservoir, Montana; multiple locations through a 351-km reach...
Transcriptomics in Black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) Transcriptomics in Black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus)
Invasive carp (silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, and black carp) are a highly impactful species with high fecundities, and they are currently expanding their ranges throughout the Central United States. These four species are known to avoid the conventional gear used to capture native fish species, and traditional removal methods are highly inefficient at capturing fish when at low...
Survival of early life stages of Lampsilis siliquoidea exposed to Syngenta Crop Protection product SYN549522B Survival of early life stages of Lampsilis siliquoidea exposed to Syngenta Crop Protection product SYN549522B
This data set contains toxicity data from 24- and 96-hour water bioassays to assess the effects of a Syngenta Crop Protection product on early life stages of a freshwater mussel. We used ASTM International methods to conduct tests with juveniles and glochidia of the freshwater mussel Lampsilis siliquoidea. Analytical chemistry and water quality analysis results are included as well.
Concentration of PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) in water and freshwater diatoms (Mayamaea atomus) in a bioaccumulation study conducted at U.S. Geological Survey, Columbia Environmental Research Center in July 2021 Concentration of PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) in water and freshwater diatoms (Mayamaea atomus) in a bioaccumulation study conducted at U.S. Geological Survey, Columbia Environmental Research Center in July 2021
Two laboratory experiments were conducted to understand PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) bioaccumulation in freshwater benthic diatoms (Mayamaea atomus). The first experiment tested bioconcentration at multiple PFOS concentrations (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 micrograms per liter) after 7 days of exposure. The second explored uptake and depuration of 0.1 micrograms per liter PFOS at...
