Phenotypic data, elemental composition and photographs of three-spined sticklebacks from quantitative trait locus (QTL) experiments

This dataset contains phenotypic information for three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) that were raised from a single marine x freshwater cross from populations on North Uist, Scottish Outer Hebrides for approximately 5 generations in a freshwater pond in Nottinghamshire, UK. The fish were then used in a quantitative trait loci (QTL) experiment to determine the genomic regions associated with various phenotypic traits in the fish. The phenotypic information includes body length, body weight, sex, whether species of the parasite Schistocephalus was observed in the body cavity, and the composition of the body of the fish (determined by ICPMass Spectromotry) including the following elements: B, Na, Mg, P, S, K, Ca, Ti, Li, Be, Al, V , Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Mo, Ag, Cd, Cs, Ba, Tl, Pb, U Full details about this nonGeographicDataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/e7797949-8b96-423e-870e-69e8314dbe90

Statement
Data were collected between October and December 2022 in Aquaria at the University Park campus of the University of Nottingham. Fish were euthanised using an overdose of anaesthetic (MS222). Each fish was blotted to remove excess water, photographed using a Nikon digital SLR camera, weighed to the nearest milligram using a fine balance, and fish length was measured (from the tip of the snout to the tip of the caudal peduncle) to the nearest millimetre using handheld callipers. Fish heads were removed by dissection, sex was determined by dissection of the body and the body was then freeze dried and used to determine the elemental composition of the individual using Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
