Reproductive toxicity tests started with Fatmucket brooding mature glochidia to five concentrations of K and Ni for 6 weeks. Subsamples of glochidia were then removed from the adults to determine (1) the viability of brooded glochidia; (2) the viability of free glochidia in a 24-h additional exposure; and (3) success of glochidia parasitism. In this data release we report individual biological, chemical, and water quality measurements from each toxicity test.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9Z2M6QL", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.65804f39d34e23d353324e37.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_65804f39d34e23d353324e37", "keyword": ["Boone County, MO", "Columbia Environmental Research Center", "USGS:65804f39d34e23d353324e37", "biota", "ecotoxicology", "freshwater mussels", "life stages", "major ion toxicity", "metals", "mollusks", "standard methods", "test duration"], "modified": "2024-02-09T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-92.284312, 38.910784, -92.274450, 38.912612", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Chemical and Biological Data from a Study on Evaluation of Chronic Effects of Potassium Chloride and Nickel on Survival, Growth, and Reproduction of a Unionid Mussel (Lampsilis siliquoidea)"}
