Hydroacoustic (sonar) data were collected for the Mississippi, St. Croix, and Minnesota Rivers for the development of high-resolution bathymetry and sidescan imagery. Small areas containing priority mussel habitat had additional collection efforts to map water velocities and bottom composition. Combining these data in a GIS can provide key components to characterizing physical benthic habitat for native mussels in a riverine environment. These information needs were highly desired by the National Park Service to more accurately assess environmental factors that influence native mussel distribution. The collaborative effort was funded by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) Environment...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected hydroacoustic data of the St. Croix River adjacent to the Osceola (WI) boat ramp for hydrographic and benthic mapping prior to the reconstruction project implemented by the National Park Service (NPS). High-resolution bathymetry data was surveyed using a multibeam sonar. The depth and characteristics of the riverbed are important parameters of habitat for benthic (bottom-dwelling) organisms, and are a fundamental parameter for riverine ecosystems. A terrestrial lidar unit was used to collect shoreline elevation points. These datasets were highly desired by the NPS to help inform and mitigate potential impacts to mussels or benthic habitat.

This dataset includes otolith and water chemistry used for determining natal origins of individuals from six species. The dataset contains Sr:Ca and Ba:Ca of water samples for the Mississippi River and tributaries as well as otolith Sr, Ba, Mg values from fishes collected in navigation pools 4, 8, 13, and 26 of the Upper Mississippi River, as well as the Open River Reach of the Middle Mississippi River and the La Grange Pool of the Illinois River. Fishes included Bullhead Minnow, Emerald Shiner, Gizzard Shad, Bluegill, Orangespotted Sunfish, and Yellow Perch. Laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry to quantify natal origins of these prey fish. Upwards of 50-75% of individuals at a given river reach...

High-resolution bathymetry data was surveyed using a multibeam sonar. The depth and characteristics of the riverbed are important parameters of habitat for benthic (bottom-dwelling) organisms, and are a fundamental parameter for riverine ecosystems. Contours are an outline or boundary of specified depth intervals. These datasets were desired by the NPS to help inform and mitigate potential impacts to mussels or benthic habitat.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers river stage and discharge data (www.rivergages.com) were used to calculate longitudinal connectivity, which is represented by the number of days each lock and dam is in “open river” conditions. During high water conditions, dam gates are generally lifted out of the water or lowered to the river bottom, removing physical barriers to passage (“open river condition”). Each lock and dam in the Upper Impounded and Lower Impounded Reaches has a specific discharge or stage that when reached, results in open river conditions. For each lock and dam, we calculated the average annual number of days in which daily discharge or stage would have resulted in open river conditions between 1985 and 2015....

Fluvial geomorphology is the study of forming and shaping landforms caused by the action of water. These landforms can be classified to macro and meso habitat classes, to better understand habitat associations. These datasets...
