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.
Five R Markdown files (.Rmd) were created for the study entitled: Assessments of the binary mixtures of four toxicants on Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) mortality. R codes were used to determine toxicant mixture ratios, summarize data, and analyze dose-response relationships in single toxicant and toxicant mixture trials. Files are described in the readme file in the order in which they were used for the study. Each R Markdown file has a complimentary R Script file (.R) with the same file name. All R Markdown files were created in RStudio version 1.2.1335 with R version 3.6.1 and Tidyverse version 1.3.0. Additional packages are listed in braces, “{},” with the corresponding R Markdown description.

This dataset captures the Zebra Mussel dose-response to four independent toxicants and each binary mixture of those toxicants. Toxicants included EarthTec QZ, Clam-Trol CT-2 (syn. Spectrus CT1300), niclosamide, and potassium chloride. Each dose of toxicant was verified with either ICP-OES or UHPLC, depending on analyte, and comparison to a standard curve. Mortality was tabulated for each observation.

Zequanox® is an EPA-registered biopesticide for controlling populations of dreissenid mussels (zebra and quagga mussels). Zequanox has demonstrated selective toxicity toward dreissenid mussels; however, a recent laboratory study indicated the potential for Zequanox to impact a non-target salmonid species. We assessed the potential exposure risk by observing the avoidance behavior of two representative species of cold-, cool-, and warm-water fish (lake trout, brook trout, lake sturgeon, yellow perch, fathead minnow, and bluegill). Fish were subjected to the maximum allowable concentration of Zequanox per the product label (100 mg/L active ingredient). Naïve juvenile fish (n = 30 per species) were individually observed...

Data were collected during experiments to determine the effects of water chemistry on carbon dioxide toxicity to zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha). Water chemistry parameters were collected for the water used in the study. Data were collected to model the relationship of carbon dioxide and pH in various water chemistries. Measurements were made to describe the animals used in the study.

Multibeam and sidescan sonar were collected for a total of 15 sites in the North Arm, Maxwell Bay, and St. Albans Bay of Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, to determine whether hydroacoustics could be used in turbid rivers and lakes as a method of rapid detection for invasive zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) infestations. Hydroacoustic data were collected in June, August, and the end of September, 2022 at all 15 sites. This dataset is composed of bathymetry in the form of digital elevation models and 3D point cloud (in the form of XYZ text file), sidescan sonar image mosaics, and underwater video still images for assessing the detection of Dreissenids using hydroacoustics and underwater video for habitat.
