Summary

A dye tracer study was completed on the lower Sandusky River between July 11-13, 2017, during a confirmed Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) spawning event. The data contained in this data release include time series of dye concentration at fixed stations downstream of the injection site. Six submersible fluorometers (Turner Designs C3TM fluorometers) were deployed at predetermined stations between 1.19 and 16.05 river miles downstream of the injection point on July 10, 2017, approximately 24 hours prior to the injection. The fluorometers were mounted atop cinder blocks and deployed in approximately 3 to 4 feet of water with good circulation. The instruments were secured to shore using safety lines. The fluorometers were battery-powered [...]

Purpose

These data were collected as part of a dye tracer study to validate the Fluvial Egg Drift Simulator (FluEgg) (Garcia and others, 2013).
