Summary

This data describes the use of hot water, chlorine, and ozone as a potential lock treatment to prevent the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) during boat transfers. Laboratory exposures where conducted to determine combinations of time, temperature, and chlorine or dissolved ozone induced complete morality to select AIS. Induced mortality from exposure to these variables are provided in this data set. This data set is closely related to toxicity data.

Purpose

This data and overarching project seeks to determine methods to treat lock and dam systems during boat transfers to prevent the spread of AIS. Specifically I am looking at a method capable of being utilized in the Chicago Area Waterway System to prevent the transfer of AIS between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River Basin.
