Data

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

These data pertain to bird point surveys collected from 30 April 2016 to 12 May 2016 and 23 May 2016 to 25 June 2016 at four bottomland hardwood restoration sites in northeastern Indiana. 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...

Data was collected during a series of studies that assessed the effects of metals on crayfish in mining districts in Missouri. Adult crayfish were collected in riffles to determine whether crayfish densities were lower at sites downstream of mining areas compared to sites upstream of mining areas. Metal concentrations in surface or pore water and less than 2-mm sediment were measured and

Laboratory studies were conducted to examine the effect of water hardness and age of crayfish on the toxicity of environment-based metals mixture. Additionally, the effects of chronic exposure to a metals mixture to egg development in adult F. quadruncus were assessed. Mortality and growth of F. quadruncus were assessed. These data consist of attributes of water quality from toxicity...
