SchiSOFT: A global dataset on species occurrences and functional traits of Schizothoracinae fish

SchiSOFT (Schizothoracinae fish Species Occurrences and Functional Traits) dataset was based on published literature, books, online databases, and field surveys, including a full species and image sources list, occurrence data, and detailed functional traits data for schizothoracine fish. The dataset includes 7,333 occurrence records and 3,204 records of 32 functional traits covering all the genera and species of Schizothoracinae fish (i.e., 12 genera and 125 species or subspecies) and image sources of 120 species or subspecies. Sampling records spanned over 180 years. This dataset will serve as a valuable resource for future research on the evolution, historical biogeography, responses to environmental change, and conservation of the Schizothoracinae fish.
