STREAMNET DATA STORE
|
The StreamNet Data Store is a searchable archive of data sets related to fish and other aquatic resources that are not of the specific data types included in the main StreamNet database. These data sets come from many different sources and are provided for download in their original formats. To add your own data set to the Data Store, use our Data Publishing Service.
StreamNet did not participate in creation of most of these data sets, and we are not able to answer questions about those we did not help develop. For questions about the data sets available from this page, please contact the originator of the particular data set.
To search the Data Store, enter key words, project numbers, species, methods, etc. into the search box below and click "Search".

| Summary / Abstract
|
Fish data was collected as a metric of biological, chemical, and physical assessments of aquatic habitat within the Lapwai Creek and Big Canyon Creek watersheds of the Lower Clearwater Subbasin. Data was collected from 50+ meter segments within monitoring reaches located throughout six streams known to be utilized by the CRLMA subpopulation of the Snake River Basin steelhead DPS. One monitoring site was located at the mouth of each stream while three additional sites were located throughout each of the six streams through use of systematic stratified random site selection. Data was collected through electrofishing sampling utilizing Smith-Root LR-24 24 volt backpack electrofishers fitted with 11 inch ring anodes and rat-tail cathodes. The LR-24's were programmed to output pulsed DC current with frequency, duty cycle, and voltage settings adjusted relative to site conductivity and temperature. Block nets (1/4 inch) were positioned across the wetted width of both upper and lower site boundaries prior to surveys. Triple pass reduction sampling was employed with shocked fish netted and retained in electrically aerated 19 liter polyethylene buckets. Electrofishing crews consisted of one operator and two netters. Water temperature was recorded prior to each pass. In accordance with ESA Section 10 Scientific Research permits, electrofishing activities were aborted when stream temperatures reached 19 C to minimize potential stress to salmonids. Macroinvertebrate, periphyton, water chemistry, water temperature, stream discharge, riparian condition and channel morphology data collected at all sites is available within the corresponding report.
Densities, biomass, and average size of all fish species were estimated through use of MicroFish 3.0 DOS software (VanDeventer and Platts, 1985). Prior to data entry into the MicroFish program, O. mykiss were divided into subyearling, 1, 2, and 2+ year age classes. Subyearling and yearling age-to-length ratios were established through visual analysis of length-frequency histograms developed from O. mykiss data generated through both this project and concurrent fish distribution surveys located within the study area. Scale sample analysis was utilized to establish minimum length-age classifications for two year and 2+ O. mykiss as efficacy of length-frequency histograms were compromised by the relatively small data sets available for these larger fish.

'Condition factor' column in the spreadsheets refer to Fulton's condition factor (CF = W / TL3 X 105), where:
CF= condition factor
W= body weight in grams
TL= Total length in mm.
Average condition factor was calculated for each of the listed age classes within MicroFish.
