Impact of insecticide (imidacloprid) on the development of Sarotherodon melanotheron
This data was collected as part of an MPhil research aimed at assessing the impact of the insecticide (imidacloprid) on the development of blackchin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron in Kakum Estuary on the Central coast of Ghana, West Africa. The dataset contains: 1. The number of fish showing abnormal growth development after exposure to the insecticide; Abnormal growths were assumed when the specimen showed any of the following: pericardial odema, stunting and curved tails. 2. metadata associated with the research

Impact of insecticide (imidacloprid) on the length at first hatch of blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron)
This data was collected as part of an MPhil research aimed at assessing the impact of the insecticide (imidacloprid) on the development of blackchin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron collected from the Kakum Estuary on the Central coast of Ghana, West Africa. Lengths of larvae hatched from eggs produced by the fish after exposure to the insecticide were accessed in the laboratory. The dataset contains: 1. The length at the first hatch of blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) after exposure to the insecticide for 24 hours 2. metadata associated with the research
XLSX
Impact of sea surface warming and increasing salinity on mesozooplankton in the Volta estaury
This data was collected as part of an MPhil research aimed at assessing the impact of sea surface warming and increasing salinity on the biological rates of calanoid copepods adapted to estuarine conditions. Two copepod species - Temora stylifera and Paracalanus parvus - were investigated. The experiment involved the exposure of the species to different temperatures and salinity combined The dataset contains: 1. the rates of egg production, faecal pellet production, and mortality of the species (Temora stylifera) during the dry season 2. the rates of egg production, faecal pellet production, and mortality of the species (Paracalanus parvus) during the wet season 3. metadata associated with the research
XLSX
Mesozooplankton abundance and composition in the Volta estuary
This data was collected as part of an MPhil research aimed at assessing the relationship between the occurrence of mesozooplankton and the environmental conditions prevailing in the Volta estuarine system of Ghana. The investigations were carried out from March to July, 2022. The dataset contains: 1. The composition and abundance of mesozooplankton located along the length of the estuary. 2. metadata associated with the research
