Survival, behavior, reproduction, morphometric measurements, and tissue analyses of crayfish, mussels, and fish from acute pesticide toxicity tests Survival, behavior, reproduction, morphometric measurements, and tissue analyses of crayfish, mussels, and fish from acute pesticide toxicity tests
Survival, behavior, reproduction, morphometric measurements, and tissue analyses of crayfish, mussels, and fish from acute toxicity tests with pyrethroid pesticides. Exposure and recovery water quality data are also included for quality assurance purposes.
Field and laboratory data to determine lethal pesticide concentrations for control of invasive crayfish Field and laboratory data to determine lethal pesticide concentrations for control of invasive crayfish
Data were collected associated with the application of a pesticide to a stormwater retention pond and burrows to suppress or eradicate an invasive crayfish species, Procambarus clarkii, in support of high-priority research developing control methods to mitigate impacts of invasive crayfish within the Great Lakes Basin. Effectiveness of the treatment was accessed using an in-situ bioassay...
Chemistry data for assessment of crayfish from Madison County, Missouri lead mines 2015 Chemistry data for assessment of crayfish from Madison County, Missouri lead mines 2015
These data are comprised of measurements of metals (cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead), anions (fluoride, chloride, nitrite, bromide, nitrate, sulfate, and phosphate), dissolved organic carbon, and major cations (sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, and strontium) in surface and pore water samples collected during an assessment of the impacts of mining...
Female Faxonius (formerly Orconectes) quadruncus broodstock collected for toxicity testing Female Faxonius (formerly Orconectes) quadruncus broodstock collected for toxicity testing
Broodstock individual Faxonius quadruncus were collected for culturing eggs until hatch. Hatchling crayfish were used to be used in toxicity testing to assess hazards of metals mixtures to young Faxonius quadruncus
Evaluation of Chemical Control for Nonnative Crayfish at a Warm-water Fish Production Hatchery Evaluation of Chemical Control for Nonnative Crayfish at a Warm-water Fish Production Hatchery
Invasive crayfish are known to displace native crayfish species, alter aquatic habitat and community structure and function, and are serious pests for fish hatcheries. White River Crawfish (WRC; Procambarus acutus) were inadvertently introduced to a warm-water fish hatchery in Missouri, USA, possibly in an incoming fish shipment. We evaluated the use of chemical control for crayfish to...

Effects of historical lead–zinc mining on riffle-dwelling benthic fish and crayfish in the Big River of southeastern Missouri, USA Effects of historical lead–zinc mining on riffle-dwelling benthic fish and crayfish in the Big River of southeastern Missouri, USA
The Big River (BGR) drains much of the Old Lead Belt mining district (OLB) in southeastern Missouri, USA, which was historically among the largest producers of lead–zinc (Pb–Zn) ore in the world. We sampled benthic fish and crayfish in riffle habitats at eight sites in the BGR and conducted 56-day in situ exposures to the woodland crayfish (Orconectes hylas) and golden crayfish...

Effects of mining-derived metals on riffle-dwelling crayfish in southwestern Missouri and southeastern Kansas, USA Effects of mining-derived metals on riffle-dwelling crayfish in southwestern Missouri and southeastern Kansas, USA
Riffle-dwelling crayfish populations were sampled at 16 sites in 4 tributaries of the Spring River located within the Tri-State Mining District in southwest Missouri. Crayfish density, physical habitat quality, and water quality were examined at each site to assess the ecological effects of mining-derived metals on crayfish. Metals (lead, zinc, and cadmium) were analyzed in samples of...

Toxicity of chloride under winter low-flow conditions in an urban watershed in central Missouri, USA Toxicity of chloride under winter low-flow conditions in an urban watershed in central Missouri, USA
Deicers such as sodium chloride and calcium chloride are used to treat snow and ice on road surfaces and have been identified as potential stressors on aquatic life. Hinkson Creek is an urban stream on the Missouri 303(d) list of impaired waters and is classified as impaired due to urban non-point source pollution. A 7-day toxicity test using Ceriodaphnia dubia was conducted to assess...

Laboratory toxicity and benthic invertebrate field colonization of Upper Columbia River sediments: Finding adverse effects using multiple lines of evidence Laboratory toxicity and benthic invertebrate field colonization of Upper Columbia River sediments: Finding adverse effects using multiple lines of evidence
From 1930 to 1995, the Upper Columbia River (UCR) of northeast Washington State received approximately 12 million metric tons of smelter slag and associated effluents from a large smelter facility located in Trail, British Columbia, approximately 10 km north of the United States–Canadian border. Studies conducted during the past two decades have demonstrated the presence of toxic...

An evaluation of the relative quality of dike pools for benthic macroinvertebrates in the Lower Missouri River, USA An evaluation of the relative quality of dike pools for benthic macroinvertebrates in the Lower Missouri River, USA
A habitat-based aquatic macroinvertebrate study was initiated in the Lower Missouri River to evaluate relative quality and biological condition of dike pool habitats. Water-quality and sediment-quality parameters and macroinvertebrate assemblage structure were measured from depositional substrates at 18 sites. Sediment porewater was analysed for ammonia, sulphide, pH and oxidation...
