Data

Data represents summarized model outputs for various simulation scenarios performed used the Fish community bioenergetics model published at: https://doi.org/10.5066/P1XAZ6K9. A number of scenarios were explored to address specific queries regarding sturgeon-chub-invertebrate dynamics in the lower Missouri River. Data include a simulated pallid sturgeon maximum weight over time under...

A series of laboratory studies were conducted to understand Sicklefin and Shoal Chub feeding rates and maximum ration. Data included determination of Chironomid weight, estimated by taking weights and counts of approximately 5 grams of laboratory cultured chironomids. Chub maximum ration was determined by finding the feeding rate of dry commercial fish food that thar resulted in complete

This data release includes individual lengths, total dry mass, and taxonomic classification for a subset of adult aquatic insects captured emerging from the surface of wadeable wetlands in cropland and grassland landscapes across a salinity/hydrology gradient (N = 14 wetlands in 2015, N = 15 wetlands in 2016). Sampling was completed in late spring, after ice off was complete and during...

This dataset includes the one-dimensional HEC-RAS model calibration files and simulation input and output files for the Wallens Bend (WB) reach on the Clinch River near Kyles Ford, Tennessee. Simulation results were used as input for environmental DNA transport models.

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)...
