Water Quality Parameters for Nova Scotia.xlsx

This is the master database created originally for the Chinese Mystery Snail Project by Sarah Kingsbury (n = 251). This database was generated from multiple datasets of freshwater ecosystem parameters. <br> This database was modified for examining water quality parameters and mercury biomagnification in Nova Scotia. This database does not reflect the entire range of water quality data available, as only data that may be of interest to mercury biomagnification rates in Nova Scotia were included in this set. Saltwater or brackish sites were excluded, as well as areas unsuitable for fishing (small streams, areas without fish, ornamental ponds, etc.) (n = 344). Data are only from 2000 - 2022, based on what was available at the time of compiling the dataset. <br> Disclaimer: This dataset was complied for two specific goals and may not be suitable for other projects.
