A long-term, multi-season, fish egg sampling program is conducted annually on the Detroit, Saint Clair, and Saint Marys rivers to identify where productive fish spawning habitat currently exists and evaluate habitat restoration projects. Egg mats were placed on the river bottom during the spring and fall at historic spawning areas, candidate fish spawning habitat restoration sites, and...

Fish fin and muscle tissue natural abundance stable isotope data for four prairie fishes native to the upper Red River basin of Texas and Oklahoma, USA, including plains minnow (Hybognathus placitus), prairie chub (Macrhybopsis australis), Red River shiner (Notropis bairdi), and Red River pupfish (Cyprinodon rubrofluviatilis). Fish fin and muscle tissue were analyzed for 13C and 15N...

This data release contains information derived from fishing efforts and sampled fish from the nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, 2021-2023, as part of a study investigating red-throated loon productivity and diet. The datasets include six tables comprising 1) catch per unit effort (CPUE) data, 2) field-measured lengths of fish (mm), 3) the energy density (kJ/g) and whole-body energy (kJ) of...

This dataset includes post-processed data for underwater fish observations by using Acoustic Resolution Imaging Sonar technology in Montezuma Slough, Sacramento River, and in the Sacramento Deep Water Shipping Channel in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, USA. This data release includes sample data associated with each video file collected, swimming behavior of groups of...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Oregon Water Science and Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Centers have developed a spatial database of the stream network in the Willamette River Basin classified by degree of obstruction to fish passage. This effort was funded by the USGS Ecological Flows program in cooperation with the Integrated Water Availability Assessments in the Willamette...

This data release includes the results of state agency led electrofishing surveys conducted in lotic habitats in six states in the Northeastern U.S.: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The following state agencies collected the electrofishing data: Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife, Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, Vermont...

This dataset represents fish targets (presumed Silver Carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) recorded using Adaptive Resolution Imaging Sonar (ARIS; Sound Metrics, Bellevue, WA) in five backwater embayments of Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, KY (2022 February). A surface-to-bottom block net was set across embayments in a “chevron” shape pointed upstream to guide fish movements downstream...

Digital flood-inundation map libraries for two reaches that comprise 14.8 miles of the Little and Big Papillion Creeks in Omaha, Nebraska were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Papio-Missouri River Natural Resource District. The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood Inundation Mapping Program website at https://www.usgs.gov...

Throughout the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS), floods in 1993 and 2019 were record-setting events in terms of flood stage and duration of flooding. Floodplain tree species are adapted to survive moderate frequencies, intensities, and durations of inundation. These events generated interest in quantifying levels of tree mortality and presented an opportunity to study how...

This dataset consists of repeat vegetation cover maps of multiple Willamette River restoration sites where restoration activities were implemented to increase the area of floodplain forests. Beginning in the early 21st century, large-scale restoration programs have been implemented along the Willamette River, Oregon, to address historical losses of floodplain habitats for native fish...

Volcanic mass flows, especially lahars and pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are among the most destructive volcanic hazards due to their speed, mobility, and the often-unexpected behavior these flows exhibit as they interact with topography. Mitigation of risk associated with PDCs and other volcanic mass flows depends upon accurate forecasting of magnitude and frequency, potential...

IMPORTANT NOTE: This dataset includes spatial locations where streamflow permanence observations (continuous flow, discontinuous flow, and dry) were recorded using the FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence) field survey available in the Survey 123 mobile data collection application. Additional information to describe the field conditions are included as part of the survey. Field observations in the...
