Lake Chubsucker Growth, Behaviour, and Tolerance Data from Lab and Field Experiments

Raw data from three experiments on the endangered Lake Chubsucker, measuring respirometry, mass, behaviour, and critical thermal maximum (CTMax). The dataset was authored by Veronica Groves and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on 2026-05-20.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of turbidity on fish growth based on mass and respirometry data.
• Analyzing behavioural changes in fish under experimental conditions described in the study.
• Assessing thermal tolerance limits of an endangered species using CTMax data.
• Comparing physiological stress responses across lab and field contexts as indicated in the title.

Strengths

• Data is openly available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Dataset size is 60.1 MB, indicating a substantial amount of raw experimental data.
• Includes data from three distinct experiments (respirometry/mass, behaviour/CTMax, CTMax).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
