Sediment samples and samples for water-toxicity testing were collected during 2014 from several streams in San Antonio, Texas known locally as the Westside creeks (Alazán, Apache, Martínez, and San Pedro Creeks) and from the San Antonio River. Samples were collected once during base-flow and again after periods of storm-water runoff (post-storm conditions) to determine baseline sediment- and water-quality conditions. Streambed-sediment samples were analyzed for selected constituents, including trace elements and organic contaminants such as pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), brominated flame retardants, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

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 ensure incoming and outgoing fish shipments from hatcheries do not contain live crayfish. We conducted acute (less than or equal to 24 hr) static toxicity tests to determine potency, dose-response, and selectivity of pesticides to WRC, Virile Crayfish (VC; Orconectes virilis), and Fathead Minnow (FHM; Pimephales promelas). Data included...

This data set describes developmental and physiological effects observed in fathead minnow embryos that were exposed to sodium nitrate or conductivity-matched controls. Exposures were conducted in the laboratory from fertilization through 21 days post-fertilization (dpf). Nitrate doses were 0, 2, 5, 10, 25, or 100 milligrams per liter nitrate-nitrogen; conductivity controls were matched to the 10 and 100 milligrams per liter nitrate-nitrogen treatments. During the experiment, we assessed heart rate and percent arrhythmic heart beats at 3 dpf, timing of hatch and inflation of the posterior and anterior swim bladders, presence of pericardial edema or scoliosis, fish metrics at 21 dpf (fish length and weight; swim...
