Lake Whitefish eggs collected in the western basin of Lake Erie, 2016-2018

To investigate the contemporary distribution of lake whitefish spawning and over-winter egg survival within western Lake Erie, potential spawning locations were sampled for eggs from 2016 to 2018. Eggs were collected using a 39-kg iron sled attached to a diaphragm pump towed for 2 - 5 minutes. The data describe the number, date of collection, and exact collection location of Lake Whitefish fish eggs collected in the western basin of Lake Erie from 2016-2018.

为探究伊利湖西部湖盆内湖白鲑（lake whitefish）的当前产卵分布与越冬卵存活率，研究团队于2016至2018年间针对潜在产卵位点开展鱼卵采样。鱼卵采集采用挂载隔膜泵（diaphragm pump）的39千克铁质拖橇，以2至5分钟的时长进行拖曳采集。本数据集涵盖2016至2018年间于伊利湖西部湖盆采集的湖白鲑鱼卵的数量、采集日期及精确采集位点等信息。
