Dataset Detail
Dataset: Mean water temperature at sentinel cages in Rock Creek
| Project: Integrated Studies of Whirling Disease in Montana Rivers Part I: Relationship of Myxobolus cerebralis-Infected Tubifex to Infection Rates and Severity of Disease in Trout of the Rock Creek Drainage | |
| Dataset Abstract: Summary of mean daily water temperatures (Fahrenheit) during the 10-day period when sentinel rainbow trout were in cages in the Rock Creek (MT) drainage. Data from each year are summarized on a single worksheet (1998-2003). | |
| Significance of Results: Other studies indicated relationship between water temperature and disease severity. These data did not support those claims; there was no strict correlation between disease severity and temperature. All combinations of increase/decrease in water temperature and disease severity Overall, water temperature alone cannot account for changes in disease severity. | |
| Utility to Researchers: These data would be most useful for looking at temperature changes at an individual sentinel cage site (during exposure period). | |
