    This dataset contains δ13C and δ15N stable isotope data for 3,765 biological samples (fish, littoral macroinvertebrates, and zooplankton) collected from 21 lakes between 2019 and 2021, collaboratively by the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. In addition, 403 samples have corresponding mercury data, based on laboratory analyses conducted by USGS (Tate et al. 2022).

    Data for Relative abundance of Zebra Mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) in various sediment types in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, June 2021

    Relative Zebra Mussel abundance on various substrates was surveyed in June 2021 in White Bear Lake, Ramsey County, MN, USA. This survey was designed to create a training dataset to relate acoustic data to substrate and mussel coverage. Transect sites were selected using underwater video to include a range of different substrate types and Zebra Mussel coverage. The final dataset provides a relatively high resolution survey (0.25 sq meter) of percent mussel coverage and substrate type that can inform studies of Zebra Mussel habitat and distribution.
