Summary

This data release includes field data for fishes sampled through mid-water trawls and otter trawl methods from Suisun Bay, California to the mouth of the Sacramento River. These data were collected from the months of September through October in 2022 and 2023 as a part of a multi-year study of Suisun Dredging and Fish Distribution (SDFD). This data release includes quantitative data on collected fish taxa focused on habitat differences between shipping channels and shoals. Sampling was done using short duration (~15 minute) trawls alongside associated water quality sample and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected at variable locations, depths, times, and currents. First release: May 26,2023 Revised: March 2024 (version [...]

Purpose

Data were collected for the purpose of quantifying shifts in fish distribution associated with various habitat elements in Suisun Bay, and Sacramento River Delta, California, USA to inform conservation and management decisions. This effort focuses on dredged channel habitats and has been titled the Suisun Dredging and Fish Distribution (SDFD) project.
