Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is a rhabdovirus that primarily infects cyprinid finfishes and causes a disease notifiable to the World Organization for Animal Health. Amphibians, which are sympatric with cyprinids in freshwater ecosystems, are considered non-permissive hosts of rhabdoviruses. The potential host range expansion of SVCV in an atypical host species was evaluated by...

6PPD-Quinone (6PPDQ) was recently implicated in mass pre-spawn mortality events in adult coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in the Pacific Northwest. Since then, studies have reported highly variable toxicity among fish species, including within the salmonids. This dataset explores the sensitivity of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii) at three life stages: alevin, 5...

Prior research has shown that sediment budgets, and therefore stability, of microtidal marsh complexes scale with areal unvegetated to vegetated marsh ratios (UVVR) suggesting these metrics are broadly applicable indicators of microtidal marsh vulnerability. This effort has developed the UVVR metric using readily available satellite imagery for the coastal areas of the contiguous United...

This dataset contains information on seedling survival, physiochemical, morphological, and eco-physiological characteristics of seedlings grown and planted from seed collected from different sagebrush populations as well as the climatic conditions of those seed source sites in relation to the common garden location in which they were planted.

The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority develop restoration plans in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set...

The Ecology Section at the USGS Conte Laboratory has studied fish in the West Brook since 1997. The goal is to understand the strength and direction of drivers on fish growth, movement, reproduction and survival in the wild. We hope to provide a comprehensive understanding of fish population dynamics for this stream network and ultimately individual fitness (natural selection and...

Spawning salmon provide marine derived resources to freshwater ecosystems that can benefit stream-dwelling fish foraging and growth. Pink salmon are widely distributed throughout watersheds along the north pacific ocean, and display distinct biennial fluctuations in spawning abundance. These data were collected from a coastal watershed in northern southeast Alaska (Montana Creek) to...

As part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) project template 774-GC10 entitled, “Characterization of hydrology and sediment mobility to inform design and implementation of a seasonal barrier to disrupt invasive grass carp reproduction in the Sandusky River near Brady’s Island, Ohio”, two bathymetric surveys of the Sandusky River from the Hayes Avenue bridge to the Ohio State...

This dataset contains pesticide-concentration values and other information for water samples and quality-control samples collected at surface-water sites on the Hawaiian Islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Maui, and Hawaiʻi between November 2016 and June 2019. The water water samples and quality-control samples were collected for a study that assessed pesticides in surface water in Hawaiʻi, as...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) deployed passive samplers at surface-water and groundwater sites on the Hawaiian Islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Maui, and Hawaiʻi for several weeks each during 2015–19. The passive samplers were deployed to assess the occurrence of pesticides and pesticide degradates, herein referred to as pesticides, in water at the sites. Some of the passive samplers were...

This dataset includes information for the sample sites in Hawaiʻi where pesticides in surface water were assessed during 2015–19. The sample sites were distributed on the Hawaiian Islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Maui, and Hawaiʻi. The site information is provided in two formats: a comma-separated-value (CSV) file and a shapefile formatted for use in a geospatial information system. A summary...
