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

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

Mortality rate of blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) larvae exposed to insecticide (imidacloprid)
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 study collected fish specimen from the field and run an exposure test in the laboratory. The dataset contains: 1. The mortality rate of larval fish specimens after exposure to the insecticide for 24 hours 2. metadata associated with the research

Phytoplankton composition of two coastal lagoons in Ghana, West Africa
This data was collected as part of a Ph.D. research aimed at assessing potential prey items for culturing West African Mangrove Oyster( Crassostrea tulipa). The lagoons investigated were Narkwa and Brenya, both on the Central coast of Ghana. The data contains: 1. composition of phytoplankton in the lagoons investigated 2. metadata of the research
