Doenz_etal_Alpinewhitefish_genetic_morphological_ecological_data2

Individual genetic, morphological and ecological data for whitefish caught in Lake Thun and Brienz. Individuals were genotyped at 10 microsatellite loci (missing data=999). Sampling type is either species_targeted (species-targeted fishing on known spawning grounds) or habitat_randomized (quantitative and taxonomically unbiased sampling across the entire lake). Sampling location is not indicated for species targeted fishing to protect spawning grounds. Capture habitat is given for habitat randomized fishing; all fish caught >5 m above ground were considered pelagic. Structure assignment is based on the assignment analysis using reference populations as described in the paper; here, individuals were assigned to species by considering their maximum assignment proportion. The second sheet contains genotypic data for whitefish caught in Lake Constance before/during its eutrophication period.
