Chemical and biological data from a study on evaluation of the sensitivity of the juvenile life stage of a federally endangered freshwater mussel (Venustaconcha trabalis) to ammonia, potassium, chloride, nitrite, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and iron

This data release contains survival and growth data from 4-d acute and 28-d chronic water-only bioassays to assess the sensitivity of juveniles of the Federally endangered Venustaconcha trabalis (Tennessee Bean) to seven chemicals with different modes of toxic action (ammonia, chloride, nitrite, potassium, cobalt, manganese, nickel). A commonly tested mussel (fatmucket, Lampsilis siliquoidea) was also tested side-by-side with Tennessee bean in chronic exposures.
