Acute Toxicity of Carbon Dioxide to Crayfish
This study evaluated the use of dissolved carbon dioxide as a control method for invasive crayfish. Five concentrations of CO2 were administered to twenty-four test tanks at a water temperature of 5°C. Initially, Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) were intended to be the test species used in the study. However, problems with obtaining a healthy population of RSC occurred, so Virile Crayfish (Faxonius virilis) were used instead. These datasets include water quality, biometric, behavioral observation, and CO2 titration data from two trials.
