Summary

This data release includes metadata and tabular data that documents the behavioral response of three species of fish invasive to Hawaii ( tilapia [Oreochromis mosambicus], western mosquitofish [Gambusia affinis] and guppies [Poecilia reticulata]) during aquarium trials testing the efficacy of carbon dioxide (CO2) diffused in water to manage invasive fish in anchialine pools. The work was conducted during 2020.

Purpose

Data were collected to document how the behavior of invasive fish change during exposure to reduced levels of pH following the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into aquarium water. The primary focus of the study was to evaluate if CO2 can be used to eradicate invasive fish from anchialine pools. Results from this study can provide park managers with information to better understand how CO2 can be used to manage invasive fish in anchialine pools.
