Lethal time data for seasonal exposure to TFM for larval sea lamprey
Description
This dataset contains the amount of responding/dead lamprey from 1 to 12 h of exposure to the piscicide, 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM), for the calculated LC50s at each month for the 2011 seasonal larval sea lamprey TFM toxicity data.
Usage
lamprey_time
Format
A tibble containing 44 rows and 7 columns.
- nominal.dose
nominal TFM dose(mg/L)
- dose
averaged measured TFM dose (mg/L) over 12 h of exposures
- month
month in which toxicity test occurred
- hour
duration of exposure in hours
- response
number of lamprey that responded over 12 h exposure to TFM
- survive
number of lamprey that survived over 12 h exposure to TFM
- total
total number of lamprey that were exposed to TFM over 12 h
Details
For each month, new lamprey were collected from the deer creek, MI, and were randomly assigned to a tank for exposure to the piscicide, 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM). The LC50 at each month was then calculated and the amount of responding/dead lamprey from 1 to 12 h was recorded.
