This data release includes physical and chemical characteristics of field collected sediment and soil samples in Missouri representing potential sediment/soil that may enter the water column during construction related activities. Three samples were collected, including Spring River sediment, Osage River bank soil and Columbia crushed limestone. The impacts of increased suspended solid level due to the three samples on early-stage freshwater mussels were examined using three freshwater mussel species, including Fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea), Arkansas Brokenray (Lampsilis reeveiana), and Washboard (Megalonaias nervosa). Specifically, toxicity endpoints including survival, biomass, and growth of juveniles were...

This data set includes geospatial data and tables providing location, environmental, and vegetation data collected in 2017 and 2018 at the Little Saint Francis River (LSFR) chat pile restoration site, Fredericktown, Madison County, Missouri. Restoration actions are being implemeneted as part of the settlement for the Madison County Mines Superfund site to compensate the public for losses of natural resources and the services they provide as part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Southeast Missouri Lead Mining District case. Data were collected prior to and during the early stages of restoration actions to restore bottomland forest habitat, reduce invasive plant species abundance, and improve...

Survival, behavior, reproduction, morphometric measurements, and tissue analyses of crayfish, mussels, and fish from acute toxicity tests with pyrethroid pesticides. Exposure and recovery water quality data are also included for quality assurance purposes.

This dataset contains the results of a laboratory chronic bioassay with 6-week-old juvenile mussels (Fatmucket, Lampsilis siliquoidea) in a 28-day zinc exposure (120 and 240 micrograms zinc per liter) with endpoints of survival and growth (biomass and length) following standard ASTM methods. Surviving mussels were transferred from the control and treatment groups into a culture pond and their survival and growth were monitored for 56 days. In this data release we report individual biological, chemical, and water quality measurements from the laboratory toxicity test exposure and pond grow-out period.

Data were collected in association with the application of two physical barrier treatments, bentonite clay (a sealing agent) and expanding foam (an insulation sealant), in natural pond-burrows to suppress or kill the invasive red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). Data include burrow diameter and depth, crayfish sex and size, and determination of the treatment reaching the burrow chamber.

The consists of longitudinal water surface profiles collected in a 10-km reach of the Missouri River at Sheepnose Bend downstream from Lexington, Missouri. Water surface elevation profiles were generated from data collected by USGS staff from the Columbia Environmental Research Center during multibeam sonar surveys of the channel bed in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Data describe designed environmental DNA (eDNA) experiments for the estimation of eDNA shedding rates for the spectaclecase (Cumberlandia monodonta), mucket (Actinonaias ligamentina), and fatmucket (Lampsilis siliquoidea) from water samples collected in the laboratory under differing laboratory conditions. Shedding rates were tested under variable mussel biomass, diet, and temperature. Parameters described include descriptions of laboratory collected water samples that were tested to estimate concentration of spectaclecase, mucket or fatmucket DNA qPCR results, and associated quality assurance measurements.

Using juvenile individuals of 3 species of carp (Family: Cyprinidae), we tested the potential for six amino acids to elicit an extracellular electro-olfactory response within the naris using gelatin-based electrodes. The amino acids L-alanine, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, L-asparagine, L-glutamine, and L‑glutamic acid were tested on Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), Bighead Carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), and Silver Carp (H. molitrix) to provide a comparison among amino acids both within and among species. Each row in the data set represents exposure to a single amino acid. Each individual fish was exposed to up to four amino acids sequentially in a random order, representing a trial; each individual was...

This dataset consists of a point shapefile with depth, velocity magnitude, XY velocity vector components, and vector angles from outputs of a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the Missouri River at Searcys Bend near Huntsdale, Missouri. The model was run at a discharge of 1,291 cubic meters per second (m3/s) to reflect average flow conditions on September 16, 2021, as measured by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Missouri River gaging station at Boonville, Missouri (USGS Gage 06909000). The simulation was run using the Flow and Sediment Transport with Morphologic Evolution of CHannels (FaSTMECH) hydrodynamic model within the International River Interface Cooperative (iRIC) software package (www.i-ric.org).

This dataset contains the particle starting locations for particle tracking simulations of the Searcys Bend dye release experiment using the “Fluvial Particle” particle tracking model. This file was generated to approximate the location and distribution of dye as observed in the first aerial image captured 3.5 minutes following the dye release. Although the total number of particles simulated is 1,500,000, simulations were run using a parallel version of the Lagrangian particle tracking algorithm distributed across 120 computational processing units (CPUs). Therefore, the file provides the location information for 12,500 particles (1,500,000 / 120 = 12,500). The file was created by georeferencing a line laterally...

This dataset contains a series of processed acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements collected by boat on the Missouri River at Searcys Bend near Columbia, Missouri on May 5, 2021, during a dye release experiment at the site. The data presented here have been processed with the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (VMT) and combined into a single shapefile using ArcGIS. The dataset was collected to validate a multidimensional hydrodynamic model.

We investigated whether the length of time fire chemical weathers on a terrestrial substrate before mixing into aquatic environments alters the chemical’s toxicity when encountered by juvenile rainbow trout. We also looked at whether the type of substrate where the chemical is applied affects its toxicity to juvenile rainbow trout after mixing into water. Two fire chemicals (Phos Chek LC95A-R and Phos Chek MVP-Fx) were applied to four substrate media (low organic content soil, high organic content soil, duff, and gravel) and allowed to age on the substrate for 7, 14, 28 or 56 days. At the end of the assigned weathering period, 96-hour assays were conducted by adding water to the dosed substrate and stocking each...

A total of 236 Black Carp were collected throughout the year from 2017-2019 by incidental captures of commercial fishers and biologists. Capture date, river basin of capture location, and coordinates were recorded for each Black Carp captured. A subsample of 119 Black Carp varying from 429-1268 millimeters total length were compared for the precision of annuli counts by two experienced readers for the ossified two anterior pectoral fin rays, the ossified anterior dorsal fin ray, sectioned vertebrae, and lapilli otoliths for selection of a single structure based on percent exact agreement, coefficient of variation, and age-frequency plots.

This project contains data and supporting files from hydrodynamic and particle tracking models of the Missouri River at Searcys Bend developed in conjunction with an experimental dye release at the study site on March 5, 2021. The main objectives of this effort were to develop a hydrodynamic model using topographic and flow data collected in the field for subsequent use in a particle tracking model to simulate dye dispersion during the experiment.

This dataset includes measurements of flow, turbulence, and bathymetry generated from multibeam bathymetry for a short reach of the Missouri River at Searcys Bend (SB) near Huntsdale, Missouri. Flow and turbulence were characterized using a Signature 1000 mounted on an anchored moving boat and an Aquadopp mounted on a tripod near the bed. Repeat bathymetric measurements were made in small patches to characterize bedform movement during velocimetric instrument deployment. The mean daily discharge at the U.S. Geological Survey Streamflow gaging station 06909000 fifteen miles upstream at Boonville, Missouri on September 16, 2021 was 1,291 cubic meters per second.
