Putnam, J.G., Sauey, B.W., Nelson, J.E., and Steiner, J.N., 2020, Thiram Toxicity Data, U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9V724BH.
Summary
This data is toxicity data for fish exposed to thiram. The number of trials and species used are: 8 trials on Bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), 8 trials on Bluegill Sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus), 4 trials on Fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), 5 trials on Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and 7 trials on Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). The drc package from the R software was used to create an on-line web application. The combination of the web application and the toxicity data collected was used to suggest thiram, a fungicide, would be a selective toxiciant for bighead carp.
