Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:40 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 04, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Data were collected in association with the application of visible light in laboratory and field settings to elicit behavioral responses from the invasive virile crayfish (Faxonius virilis). Data for laboratory light trials include water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity, crayfish sex, weight and size, light lux, proportion of time spent in each zone (lit versus unlit), total distance moved, mean velocity, and acceleration. Data for pond trials include crayfish sex and size, and count of crayfish captured by lit and baited traps.
