Analysis code to evaluate Burbot tolerance to lampricide TFM, which is used in tributaries of the Great Lakes to control larval Sea Lamprey. A lab test of toxicity of this non-target species was conducted. This code examines the length and weight of test animals, visualizes water quality measures taken during the tests, and fits a dose response curve.
