Spawning Whitefish and Invasive Mussels (SWIM) project supporting data collected in the Great Lakes, 2024-2025 overwinter physics and chemistry on spawning reefs Spawning Whitefish and Invasive Mussels (SWIM) project supporting data collected in the Great Lakes, 2024-2025 overwinter physics and chemistry on spawning reefs
This dataset records physical (photosynthetically available radiation, currents, wave action, and temperature) and physicochemical (specific conductivity, turbidity, pH, phycocyanin, chlorophyll, and dissolved oxygen) data from sensors moored during the winter season of 2024-2025 at two lake whitefish spawning reefs – Good Harbor Bay in Lake Michigan and Thunder Bay in Lake Huron. The...
Algal associated Benthic macroinvertebrate data collected in the Great Lakes, 2024 Algal associated Benthic macroinvertebrate data collected in the Great Lakes, 2024
This data set includes information on macroinvertebrate community composition collected along with benthic algae and dreissenid mussels from May to October of 2024. Stations are located along the U.S. shoreline of Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. Macroinvertebrates were identified from benthic samples collected by scuba divers. Macroinvertebrates, algae, and dreissenids were...
Cladophora biomass and supporting data collected in the Great Lakes, 2024 (ver. 2.0, February 2026) Cladophora biomass and supporting data collected in the Great Lakes, 2024 (ver. 2.0, February 2026)
This dataset records Cladophora and associated benthic algae, collectively the Cladophora community or submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), biomass collected during the growing season of 2024 at stations located along the U.S. shoreline of Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. It also records a variety of supporting data collected at Cladophora measurement stations. These supporting...
Benthic Algal Community Composition in the Laurentian Great Lakes (2024) Benthic Algal Community Composition in the Laurentian Great Lakes (2024)
This data set includes information on benthic algae community composition collected during the growing season of 2024 at stations located along the U.S. shoreline of Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. Benthic algal community observations were taken by scuba divers in the field and by personnel in the lab during sample processing, including detailed microscopic examination of...
Algal community composition and associated fish eDNA in southern Lake Michigan shoreline deposits (2024) Algal community composition and associated fish eDNA in southern Lake Michigan shoreline deposits (2024)
This data set includes information on algae community composition and metadata for fish environmental DNA (eDNA) samples collected along the shoreline of southern Lake Michigan in late August 2024. Washed up, floating, and attached algae were collected along shore and in wadable water. Algal community observations were performed by microscopy to determine primary and secondary dominance...
