Toxicity of Nitrofen in Aquatic Systems

This dataset, nitrofen_toxicity, is a data frame containing data from an experiment to measure the reproductive toxicity of nitrofen on a species of zooplankton (Ceriodaphnia dubia). Fifty animals were randomized into batches of ten and each batch was put in a solution with a measured concentration of nitrofen. It includes information on nitrofen concentration and brood sizes across three broods along with the total.
