    • Stream temperature and fish community data upstream and downstream of an impoundment in Big Hunting Creek, Maryland

    Metadata Updated: July 20, 2024

    This Data Release provides stream temperature data (13 sites) and fish community data (3 sites) in Big Hunting Creek, Maryland. Data were collected during summer baseflow conditions in 2023. This product supports brook trout conservation and restoration research needs identified by Maryland Department of Natural Resources. We collected temperature data with Onset ProV2 water temperature gages in slotted PVC housings mounted to the stream substrates with rebar. Gages recorded temperature every 15 minutes from July 11, 2023 (midnight) until July 15, 2023 (midnight) (337 observations per site). We collected fish community data following Maryland Department of Natural Resources protocols (Maryland Biological Stream Survey) with 2-pass backpack electrofishing and dipnets. All fishes were identified to species and released. Sites include locations upstream and downstream of an impoundment (Frank Bentz Pond) in Big Hunting Creek.
