Valuation of the biopesticide Zequanox® on reproduction and early development of Fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas): Data

The goal of the study in which the data were collected to determine the non-target effects of the molluscicide Zequanox on the survival and reproductive success of Fathead minnows in simulated open-water applications. The specific objectives were to evaluate effects of 8-h exposure to 50 mg/L and 100 mg/L AI Zequanox on: 1) survival of adult Fathead minnows, 2) egg deposition, 3) hatchability of eggs, and 4) survival and growth of newly hatched fry.

本研究收集相关数据，旨在确定杀软体动物剂Zequanox在模拟开阔水域施用场景下，对黑头呆鱼（Fathead minnows）存活与繁殖成功率的非靶标效应。具体研究目标为评估8小时暴露于50 mg/L与100 mg/L有效成分（active ingredient，文中缩写为AI）的Zequanox后，对以下4项指标的影响：1）成年黑头呆鱼的存活率；2）产卵量；3）鱼卵孵化率；4）初孵仔鱼的存活与生长情况。
