Growth and survival of a Unionid Mussel (Fatmucket, Lampsilis siliquoidea) during Chronic Exposures Evaluating pH Effects on Ammonia

March 13, 2025
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) routine water quality, including measured pH and ammonia (2) survival and dry weight of juvenile mussels, and (3) length measurements of juvenile mussels
