National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) 2010 Community Fish Data

ABSTRACT: This geodatabase contains a comparable set of community fish samples from 12 sources, spanning the conterminous United States. The data were compiled through efforts of Michigan State University for the 2010 National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) and with support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Aquatic GAP Program. All fish sample locations were verified and linked to flowlines of the National Hydrography Dataset Plus Version 1 (NHDPlusV1) using the COMID identifier. Fish records were provided by the following organizations and agencies: USGS, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, Kentucky Division of Water, Missouri Department of Conservation, New York Department of Environmental Conservation, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, and Little Tennessee Watershed Association. These datasets met the following criteria: (1) protocols were focused on sampling the entire community; (2) all samples were collected by single-pass electrofishing (3) samples were collected between 1990-2010, (4) samples had sufficient descriptive information to determine location of sample.

摘要：本地理数据库包含源自12个来源的可比鱼类群落样本，覆盖美国本土全域。本数据集由密歇根州立大学为2010年全国鱼类栖息地行动计划（National Fish Habitat Action Plan, NFHAP）编制，并得到美国鱼类及野生动物管理局（U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USFWS）与美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）水生生物GAP计划的支持。所有鱼类样本点位均经过核实，并通过COMID标识符关联至全国水文数据集增强版第1版（National Hydrography Dataset Plus Version 1, NHDPlusV1）的水系线图层。 鱼类样本记录由以下机构与部门提供：美国地质调查局（USGS）、美国环境保护署（U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA）、康涅狄格州环境保护部、艾奥瓦州自然资源部、佛罗里达州鱼类与野生动物保护委员会、堪萨斯州野生动物与公园局、肯塔基州水利厅、密苏里州保护部、纽约州环境保护部、北卡罗来纳州水质管理处、佛蒙特州鱼类与野生动物部以及小田纳西流域协会。 上述数据集均满足以下标准：(1) 采样方案聚焦于全群落鱼类采样；(2) 所有样本均通过单次电捕鱼法采集；(3) 样本采集时段为1990年至2010年；(4) 样本具备充足的描述性信息以明确采样点位。
