Data release for a novel tool to selectively deliver a control agent to filter-feeding silver and bighead carp

Invasive carp pose substantial economic and ecological damage when populations are widespread in freshwater systems within the United States of America (USA). Resource managers in the USA have a limited number of chemical control tools to selectively remove nuisance fish. The present study examined whether Antimycin-A (antimycin) wax encapsulated microparticles could cause selective lethality to invasive carps in a series of laboratory trials, controlled outdoor pond trials, and an experimental pond trial. Datasets include water quality, fish biometrics, fish survival, yttrium consumption, and antimycin microparticle dissipation data. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.

当入侵鲤科鱼类（Invasive carp）种群在美国（USA）淡水水系中广泛分布时，会造成严重的经济与生态损害。美国渔业资源管理者可用于选择性灭杀有害鱼类的化学防控工具数量十分有限。本研究通过一系列室内试验、受控室外池塘试验以及实验性池塘试验，探究了蜡质包埋抗霉素A（Antimycin-A，下文简称antimycin）微粒是否能对入侵鲤科鱼类产生选择性致死效应。本数据集涵盖水质指标、鱼类生物测量数据、鱼类存活率、钇元素消耗量以及抗霉素微粒消散动态数据。本数据集提及的商业名称、企业名称或产品名称仅用于描述用途，并不代表美国政府对此类名称的认可或背书。
