Juvenile mysid shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia) were exposed to up to 32% effluent in a 7-day survival and growth test. The average weight per treatment replicate of surviving organisms was measured.

A data frame with 40 observations on the following 2 variables.
conc
a numeric vector of effluent concentrations (%)
dryweight
a numeric vector of average dry weights (mg)
The data are analysed in Bruce and Versteeg (1992) using a log-normal dose-response model (using the logarithm with base 10).
At 32% there was complete mortality, and this justifies using a model where a lower asymptote of 0 is assumed.
