Help!

I am unsure if I can analyze data from the following experiment.

Fish were placed in a tank at (t=0)
Measurements of Carbon Dioxide were taken each day for 120 days
(t=0,...120)
A few fish were then randomly pulled out of the tank at different days,
killed and examined for the presence of a disease
T= time of examination in days from start (i.e. 85th day), E = 0/1 for
nonevent/event

....

---------------------------

You need to decide on a mechanistic model.  On the day a fish is
sacrificed, does their risk of disease depend on
        today's CO2 level
        the average CO2 since the start of the experiment
        cumulative CO2 dose
        days over a threshold
        etc
You can examine each of these one by one or in combinations.  It would
be very difficult, however, to ask your program to "find the pattern".
