The Environment Agency undertakes fisheries monitoring work on rivers, lakes and transitional and coastal waters (TraC).
This dataset contains site and survey information, the numbers and species of fish caught, fish lengths, weights and ages (where available), for all the freshwater fish surveys carried out across England from 1975 onwards.
Notes: - These survey data are stored in an archive more commonly known as the NFPD (National Fish Populations Database). - This dataset contains Freshwater fish surveys only. - Third party data held on the NFPD are excluded from the dataset. - Some historic surveys (particularly in Anglian Central) have incorrect survey lengths and survey widths. These can be identified by a survey length of 1 and a survey width that is equal to the area. The survey areas are correct. This is due to the migration of old historic data from previous databases into the NFPD. - Approved for Access under AfA347.

TwitterThis dataset corresponds with the inland fisheries collaboration between the Land and Water Lab at the University of Florida and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. An online survey of fisheries professionals distributed in June-September 2020 yielded 536 responses from 93 unique hydrological basins across most major freshwater habitat types. Provided here are the raw survey dataset generated from participant responses, a formatted dataset intended for reuse, a reference key to numeric values and column headers, a reference key to region identifiers, and the script used to generate the formatted dataset and figures used in the paper titled, "A global dataset of inland fisheries expert knowledge."

The National Fish Populations Database (NFPD) holds information collected from fisheries monitoring work on rivers, lakes and transitional and coastal waters (TraC). This monitoring work is undertaken by the Environment Agency and by third parties. All the relevant data associated with NFPD freshwater fish surveys, such as survey information, site information, the numbers and species of fish caught, fish lengths, weights and ages (where available), can be obtained from these relational datasets. The data is provided as a set of relational data tables because there is just too much data to include all relevant information in all tables. A basic understanding of fisheries science and relational databases is assumed. Available datasets/tables: • Freshwater Fish Counts for all species for all Areas and all Years • Freshwater Salmonid Age Band (0+, >0+, age unknown) Counts for all Areas and Years • Freshwater Salmonid Age Band (0+, 1+, >1+, age unknown) Counts for all Areas and Years • Breakdown of freshwater fish count data types (individually measured, banded measured and bulk counted fish) • Individually measured freshwater fish records • Banded measured freshwater fish records • Bulk counted freshwater fish records The tables can be related to each other using any one of the unique identifiers - survey_id, survey_species_id, species_id and species_run_id. However, the Freshwater Fish Counts and the Salmonid Age Band datasets have no dependence on the other tables and can therefore also be used in isolation. Third party data and surveys not flagged as ‘Completed’ are excluded. For more information about the available datasets/tables, please see the Dataset Documentation.

Standardized test-fishing with Nordic multi-mesh gillnets is a widely used method in Sweden to investigate the fish fauna in a lake. In 2005 the method became an European standard (EN 14757). Standardized test-fishing catch most of the Swedish species in a representative way, giving a good estimate of species abundance and size distribution. The results are generally used for purposes of environmental protection and fishery management.
NORS consists of thousands of test-fishing occasions back to the 1950’s. The Department of Aquatic Resources (SLU Aqua) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences is responsible of collecting and checking test-fishing data generated in national and regional environmental programs, on behalf of the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. SLU Aqua also collect test-fishing data from several other types of investigations in order to create a database as representative as possible. The purpose is to facilitate obtaining data of high quality for research, national investigations and reports. The database also serves as a reference for local and regional investigations. All data is available for the public.

TwitterStated preference choice experiment data were collected in conjunction with NMFS’ Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) along the coastal states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts during 2014. All anglers intercepted in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts for NMFS' Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) intercept survey were asked to participate in a voluntary follow-up mail survey. Anglers who agreed to participate in the follow-up were sent mail questionnaires using a modified Dillman Tailored Design. The choice experiment survey asked anglers that have targeted Gulf of Maine cod, haddock, or pollock to simultaneously compare features of different hypothetical fishing trips and then to choose the trip they liked best. The features or attributes varied across trips and included bag and size limits of each species, the number of legal-sized fish caught of each species, the number of sub-legal sized fish caught of each species, the number of other types of fish that were legally kept, the trip length in hours, and the total trip cost. Respondents were also permitted to choose an opt-out option which was “Do something else: Freshwater fishing, Saltwater fishing for species other than cod, haddock and pollock, or don't go fishing.†The collection of choice responses from the various choice scenarios allows for the examination of tradeoffs and behavioral responses to various biological and regulatory changes. A total of 1,763 surveys were mailed out and 481 completed mail surveys were returned for a response rate of 27%.

TwitterThe diversion of freshwater from the Mississippi River is intended to mitigate saltwater intrusion from the Gulf of Mexico and to lessen the concomitant loss of wetland areas. Though effective, freshwater diversion can affect wildlife and habitat; therefore, prediversion and postdiversion data collections are necessary to identify effects. The Davis Pond freshwater diversion area is located between the Mississippi River and Bayou Lafourche and extends to Barataria Bay Basin, Louisiana. Results and interpretations from the prediversion biomonitoring done in 2001- which included data on fish, eagles, and bivalves - are presented in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Scientific Investigations Report 2008-5067, "Davis Pond Freshwater Prediversion Biomonitoring Study: Freshwater Fisheries and Eagles." The postdiversion data generated approximately 6 years later from the sampling of fish whole bodies are presented here in this USGS Data Series. An accompanying log of postdiversion study site photographs was also produced in USGS Data Series 605, "Photographic Images Captured While Sampling for Bald Eagles near the Davis Pond Freshwater Diversion Structure in Barataria Bay, Louisiana (2009-10). This data set consists of measurements of organochlorines detected in largemouth bass, blue catfish and striped mullet samples collected in 2007-2009, approximately six years after the Davis Pond freshwater diversion structure was operational. Samples are from the Mississippi River, Lake Cataouatche, Bayou Couba, and Lake Salvador.

In response to the need to augment electrofishing surveys of golden perch, Macquaria ambigua (an important endemic freshwater fish in southeastern Australia), with other non-lethal survey methods, the utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) as an index of relative fish abundance/biomass was investigated. From three adjacent rivers, five sites in each were sampled for eDNA immediately before electrofishing during sequential years. Up to six individuals or 10 kg of electrofished golden perch (200–548 mm total length) were caught or observed site−1. Analyses of concurrent eDNA concentrations revealed no significant relationship with the relative abundance of golden perch, but there was with relative biomass—manifesting as increasing eDNA concentrations between 1.1 and approximately 5.5 kg biomass site−1, after which concentrations stabilized at greater biomasses. Future research warrants assessing the viability of sampling eDNA for spatio-temporally monitoring rivers where low biomasses of golden perch (1–5 kg site−1) are likely to occur.

Description:
All fish catch data of all methods across all streams sampled at the SAFE project, Danum Valley and surrounding oil palm areas. Please note this is the raw dataset and may contain errors that need correcting/editing. I have tried to correct the majority of errors, but all were corrected in seperate files prior to analysis, so please see specific datasets in relation to specific papers already published. All changes are detailed in the notes column or listed here if more general.
All Rasbora caught in 2013 are labelled as cf. sumatrana as they were not differentiated from R. hubbsi. All Systomus changed to Barbodes. All Tor labelled as T. tambra, with no differentiation between tambra and tambroides. From 2018 onwards, all R. sumatrana have been renamed as R. pycnopeza. New captures were not pit tagged. Fish mortality are tracked in the data.
In 2018, some sites were sampled twice.
In this version, several changes and new spreadsheets have been added on top of previous versions. This includes: 1. Electrofishing setup - the voltage used in electrofishing corresponding to the conductivity measured; 2. Stream _variables along transect- detailed environmental data collect along transect at each site; 3. Riparian survey, with data on the riparian surveys along the fishing transect. The sheet "Data" has been renamed Capture_Data. Environmental data 2017 sheet has been renamed and updated to Environmental Data site level, to include summarized data by site and by year.
Project: This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: Composition and abundance of tropical freshwater vertebrate communities across a land use gradient
