Environmental DNA and electrofishing data for American eel in the Mohawk and Hudson River Watersheds (ver. 2.0, January 2023)

The dataset is composed of five tables containing environmental DNA (eDNA) and electrofishing data from American eel (Anguilla rostrata) surveys conducted on parts of the Mohawk River watershed and tributaries to the Hudson River in New York. The dataset includes (a) eDNA data from 36 sites in the Mohawk River watershed and adjacent areas including parts of the Eastern Erie Canal, Mohawk River, and tributaries that were sampled in spring 2021 and again in summer 2021 and (b) paired eDNA/electrofishing data from 15 sites on tributaries to the Hudson River that were sampled between 2020 and 2021. The table "MohawkHudsonEel_MohawkScreening_eDNAData" contains eDNA data from the 36 sites in the Mohawk River watershed, the table "MohawkHudsonEel_MohawkScreening_SiteData" contains supporting information on the 36 sites in the Mohawk River watershed, the table "MohawkHudsonEel_HudsonTribCalibration_LWData" contains the length and weight for all American eel captured during electrofishing surveys from the 15 sites on tributaries to the Hudson River, the table "MohawkHudsonEel_HudsonTribCalibration_eDNAData" contains eDNA data from the 15 sites on tributaries to the Hudson River, and the table "MohawkHudsonEel_HudsonTribCalibration_SiteData" contains supporting information on the 15 sites on tributaries to the Hudson River including the dimensions of the reaches where electrofishing was conducted.

本数据集包含5张表格，数据源自美国纽约州莫霍克河（Mohawk River）流域及哈德逊河支流部分区域开展的美洲鳗鲡（Anguilla rostrata）调查中的环境DNA（environmental DNA）与电渔法（electrofishing）采样数据。数据集涵盖两类数据：一是2021年春季及夏季，对莫霍克河流域及周边区域（含东伊利运河、莫霍克河及其支流部分区段）的36个采样点采集的环境DNA数据；二是2020至2021年间，对哈德逊河支流15个采样点采集的配对环境DNA/电渔法数据。各表格详情如下：表"MohawkHudsonEel_MohawkScreening_eDNAData"收录莫霍克河流域36个采样点的环境DNA数据；表"MohawkHudsonEel_MohawkScreening_SiteData"收录莫霍克河流域36个采样点的辅助调查信息；表"MohawkHudsonEel_HudsonTribCalibration_LWData"收录哈德逊河支流15个采样点电渔法调查中捕获的全部美洲鳗鲡的体长与体重数据；表"MohawkHudsonEel_HudsonTribCalibration_eDNAData"收录哈德逊河支流15个采样点的环境DNA数据；表"MohawkHudsonEel_HudsonTribCalibration_SiteData"收录哈德逊河支流15个采样点的辅助调查信息，其中涵盖电渔法采样河段的断面尺寸数据。
