Great Lakes-Wide Dataset of Historical Coregonine Stocking Events

This dataset is the result of coordinated efforts to compile data associated with stocking events for whitefishes and ciscoes (members of the Coregoninae subfamily) of Great Lakes origin. The dataset includes more than 4,700 records associated with coregonine stocking, from over 150 information sources, spanning the years 1870 - 2022. The compiled information includes species, quantities, dates, source location, and stocked location when present. Records were georeferenced using evidence from the original sources and were quality checked in ArcGIS Pro (datum: WGS84) to ensure concordance between coordinates and cited locations.
