Data and Code Release:Technical Assistance Bioassay to Compare Sea Lamprey and Logperch Sensitivity to TFM

Data and code release to evaluate a continuous-flow streamside toxicity test that was conducted with common logperch (Percina caprodes) and larval sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) to evaluate the risk posed by 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (TFM) sea lamprey control stream treatments to logperch. Logperch are a host to the parasitic glochidia life stage of the federally endangered snuffbox mussel (Epioblasma triquetra). Streams with an extant population of snuffbox must be treated before May 1st to prevent inadvertent take through TFM-related mortality of glochidia-infested fish. The concentration of TFM required to induce 99.9% mortality of sea lamprey was 6.52 mg/L and the concentration of TFM required to induce...

Field Evaluation of an Improved Solid TFM Formulation for Use in Treating Small Tributary Streams, data

This study builds upon work conducted under the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) Technical Assistance Program that was funded to prepare and evaluate an alternative solid formulation of the lampricide 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) in a laboratory flume. The project aligns within the lampricide theme in the Sea Lamprey Research Program by improving lampricide performance, efficacy, and safety through the development of a more environmentally compatible lampricide formulation compared to the current surfactant-based TFM bar. The study involved performing field applications of experimental TFM pellets manufactured by collaborators at Northland College (Ashland, WI). Applications were conducted on small...

Distribution of Niclosamide Following Granular Bayer Applications in Lentic Environments code

Six R code files were used to analyze data for the study entitled: Distribution of Niclosamide Following Granular Bayer Applications in Lentic Environments. The R program files included: code to summarize the distribution of niclosamide in the water column outside of the studied treatment plot. code to summarize the distribution of niclosamide in the water column inside of the studied treatment plot. code to summarize the distribution of niclosamide in the sediment inside of the studied treatment plot code to summarize the depth, temperature and pH of the water column inside of the studied treatment plot code to summarize the temperature of the sediment inside of the studied treatment plot pre and post granular...

Field and laboratory data to determine lethal pesticide concentrations for control of invasive crayfish-Field data

These data consists of three related tables describing in-situ field conditions including pesticide concentration, water quality, and post-treatment survival of crayfish 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 and by measuring pesticide concentrations in water, sediment, and caged crayfish. Water quality data, including temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity,...

Supplements to Assessments of the binary mixtures of four toxicants on Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) mortality

This dataset contains the supplementary data to the dataset entitled "Assessments of the binary mixtures of four toxicants on Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) mortality." These data describe the exposure conditions to include water chemistry before, during, and after exposures as well as mussel condition throughout the study. Monitored water chemistry parameters include dissolved oxygen, temperature, and pH. Periodic measurements of alkalinity, total hardness, and specific conductance where taken before each exposure period. Mussel condition was also assessed at the initiation of each exposure. Mussel condition included shell length and tissue dry weight.
