Silver eel responses to live and dead silver eel odors at the U.S. Geological Survey Wellsboro Lab in 2015
May 25, 2017
This is a tabular data set that contains morphological and experimental data for a study testing if silver stage American eel respond to each other's odor. Inside a laboratory flume, downstream-swimming eels were exposed to both live (putative attractant) and dead (putative repellent) conspecific washings to determine whether their trajectory of downstream movement, level of activity, or time spent inside targeted areas of the arena changed after exposure. One CVS file contains eel morphological data and the other CSV file describes behavioral responses.
