Substrate Imagery Classifications for Lake Trout Spawning Habitat in Lake Ontario 2023-2024

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 09:13 PM | Dataset Last Updated: August 13, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This dataset is the result of international collaborative efforts by the United States Geological Survey, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, and the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans. These data provide substrate information along the shoreline of Lake Ontario between 3 and 30 meters in depth. We used drop camera videos to classify substrates with the goal to quantify the amount of quality habitat that could potentially be used for Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) spawning and egg incubation. The videos described within this data release are in zipped files, organized by the collecting agency.
