National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) 2010 Community Fish Data
This geodatabase contains a comparable set of community fish samples from 12 sources, spanning the conterminous United States. The data were compiled through efforts of Michigan State University for the 2010 National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP) and with support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Aquatic GAP Program. All fish sample locations were verified and linked to flowlines of the National Hydrography Dataset Plus Version 1 (NHDPlusV1) using the COMID identifier. Fish records were provided by the following organizations and agencies: USGS, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, Kentucky Division of Water, Missouri Department of Conservation, New York Department of Environmental Conservation, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, and Little Tennessee Watershed Association. These datasets met the following criteria: (1) protocols were focused on sampling the entire community; (2) all samples were collected by single-pass electrofishing (3) samples were collected between 1990-2010, (4) samples had sufficient descriptive information to determine location of sample.
