Summary

Coho salmon have been shown to be highly sensitive to the tire-derived chemical 6PPD-quinone. Concentrations contained in stormwater and in urban streams during the fall spawning season are sufficient to induce mortality in up to 90% of the entire fall coho run, threating the long-term survival of populations in urban areas. Another area of concern is survival of coho salmon embryos of adults that successfully reach spawning grounds. This dataset encompasses two separate experiments assessing survival and morphology of embryos exposed to measured concentrations of 6PPD-quinone during development.
