Summary

The Large River Monitoring Forum compiled fish assemblage data for five large rivers in the U.S. as a part of a coordinated effort to compare and contract river monitoring efforts in large river systems. Fish community data from five monitoring programs were integrated to create the standardized dataset. Authors: Timothy D. Counihan1, Ian R.

Purpose

This database includes fish assemblage data for five large rivers in the U.S. The rivers included the Columbia, Colorado, Mississippi, Illinois and the Tallapoosa. For each river fish monitoring data were compiled across time (years) and space (river reach). This database includes the spatial and tabular data for each of the five river systems. A master species file is included in the database which provides a list of all of the species encountered in the data that were compiled with a standard taxonomy and coding system applied. In addition the status of the species as native or non-native in each of the rivers was documented to support the analysis. The data were used to conduct river specific fish community analyses and to investigate the response of the fish assemblages to location and time.
