Determine the oxytetracycline hydrochloride concentrations in water samples provided by the Bozeman Fish Technology Center taken during Pennox 343 efficacy studies.
Datasets describe the outcomes of transporting Yellow Perch and Nile Tilapia at high densities under AQUI-S®20E (10% eugenol). Specifically, data describe the survival, morphometric measurements, behavior/sedation, sedative concentrations, and water chemistry for each species during live transport.

Description of Work The field portion of a method validation study was completed August 2015. The study was designed to test the accuracy of a LAMP method to detect eDNA of Asian carps during simulated fish transport. During the study, more than 10,000 minnows were held in each of three fish transport tanks. Ten 4-inch silver carp were placed in one tank, a single 4-inch silver carp in the second tank while the third tank had no silver carp and served as a negative control. The LAMP method used amplifies the DNA of both bighead carp and silver carp. Three replicate trials were completed on separate days with side-by-side analyses completed by three novice and two expert users. Expert users had extensive experience...
Determine the oxytetracycline hydrochloride concentrations in water samples provided by the Bozeman Fish Technology Center taken during Pennox 343 efficacy studies.
Among the data required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of an aquaculture drug are the data that characterize the depletion of a drugs marker residue from the edible fillet tissue of fish after exposure. Eugenol is the marker residue for AQUI-S 20E, a product proposed for use as a sedative for fish.Rainbow trout (Onchorynchus mykiss; a representative cold water fish species) was exposed to AQUI-S 20E in water at a temperature of 9 C, a temperature that is representative of the lower range of temperatures where rainbow trout would be sedated. Eighty fish were exposed to a nominal AQUI-S 20E concentration of 100 mg/L for 60 min. Groups of 16 fish were sampled immediately after 60 min of...
