Abstract:
This dataset contains concentrations of Tri-iodothyronine (T3 ), Thyroxine (T4), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) in adult pompano after exposure to a chemically enhanced water-accommodated fraction (CEWAF) of south Louisiana crude oil and reproduction.

Data Parameters and Units:
Dataset consists of 1 Excel file with multiple worksheets that detail the experimental setup and conditions (Naming Convention, T208 Sample Key, Test Conditions Table, Tank Descriptions, and ELISA).
The worksheet "Naming Convention": Sample IDs are named as "CII-15-0000", where three letter laboratory project code (CII=CIMAGE-II)-two digit year (2015=15)-four digit integral assigned by laboratory beginning at 0000 for each new year(0000 through 9999).
The worksheet “T208 Sample Key” includes - Collected Date (MM/DD/YYYY), Field ID (Fish #), Matrix (Plasma-EDTA), MML Number, Species (Florida Pompano), Gender (Male/Female), Weight (g), and Length (cm).
The worksheet “Tank Descriptions” includes - Tank, # Female, # Male, Treatment (Control/CEWAF), Start Date (MM/DD/YYYY), End Date (MM/DD/YYYY), Date Spike A, Time Spike A, Date Spike B, Time Spike B, and Notes.
The worksheets “ELISA” includes - Spawning tank, Goiter, Treatment (CEWAF/Control), Fish ID, and replicate measurements of Cusabio T4 (ng/ml), Cusabio TSH (Ug/ml), and Cusabio T3 (ng/ml).
The worksheet “Test Conditions Table” includes - Test Name (Pompano Adult Water Exposure), Test ID: 208, Species tested (Florida Pompano), Life-stage/age (Adult), Test Duration, Exposure Type, Renewal frequency, Number of replicates per treatment (9), Organisms per tank, Temperature, Salinity, Number of Treatments, and the description of treatments.
Methods:
Plasma samples were analyzed using ELISA kits prepared by Cusabio for T3 (CSB E084888), T4 (CSB E08489F), and TSH (CSB EQ027261FI) according to manufacturer protocols.
