Hitt, N.P., Rogers, K.M., Snyder, C.D., and Dolloff, C.A., 2020, Video data for trout abundance estimation: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9M8U8MN.
Summary
Rapid advances in video technology are enabling new strategies for species abundance estimation. Here we provide estimates of fish abundance derived from video data collected in a series of stream pools in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia (n=41). Two 360-degree cameras were simultaneously used at each pool site where 15-minutes of underwater footage was collected. Environmental data are provided describing pool morphology, canopy cover, and fish cover (boulders, large woody debris, and undercut banks).

Purpose
These data provide the basis for comparing video-derived estimates of fish abundance against other sampling methods (electrofishing and dive-count surveys).
