Dataset Detail
Dataset: Monitoring for diurnal periodicity in TAM release
| Project: Epidemiology of Whirling Disease: An Integrated Study of the Rock Creek Drainage, Montana
| |
| Dataset Abstract: Tubifex tubifex naturally infected with Myxobolus cerebralis were collected from the Rock Creek drainage and then were monitored for diurnal periodicity in triactinomyxon (TAM) release. TAM samples were collected three times per day for three days during a period of known TAM release. | |
| Significance of Results: Based on these three days of data collection, it doesn't appear that there was evidence of diurnal periodicity. | |
| Relevance to Managers: If diurnal periodicity and seasonal periodicity were supported by additional data, then this information may be useful when stocking fish. | |
| Questions Generated: Temperature and photoperiod studies could be combined because as photoperiod changes, the time of day of release may change. Additional sequential days of data collection may be useful. | |
