Community composition data for assessing fish populations in headwater streams of the Adirondack Mountains, New York, USA

Community composition data from multi-pass electrofishing surveys for assessing fish populations in headwater streams of the Adirondack Mountains, New York, USA. Each row represents one individual fish. This spreadsheet contains 11 columns. The first 7 columns describe the data (year collected, local site ID, stream name, latitude, longitude, USGS site number, and electrofishing pass number) and the remaining 4 columns describe each individual fish (common name, scientific name, total length (mm) and weight (g)). These data support the following publication: Baldigo, B.P., Sporn, L.A., George, S.D., and Ball, Jacob, in press. Efficacy of environmental DNA to detect and quantify Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis, populations in streams of the Adirondack Mountains, New York. Trans. Amer. Fish.
