Abundance and Distribution of Fishes in Lower Blue Lake, Lake County, California
Field data for fishes sampled using bottom and surface gill nets during daylight hours on October 22-24, 2024 in Lower Blue Lake, Lake county, California, USA. This data release includes the results of all measured environmental parameters and fish taxa included in the analysis.
Stable Isotopes of Fish, Invertebrates, and Vegetation in the Northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, 2022-2024
This dataset includes lab data for stable isotopes of fish tissue, invertebrates, and vegetation collected during daylight hours in the Northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and drainage channels of the Yolo By-Pass, California, USA during summer 2022, 2023, and 2024. This data release includes all animal taxa and isotope values.
Abundance and Distribution of Fishes in Clear Lake, Lake County, California (ver. 2.0, December 2024)
Field data for fishes sampled using bottom and surface gill nets during daylight hours in Clear Lake, California, USA. This data release includes all measured environmental parameters and fish taxa included in the analysis.
Fish distribution and tidal currents in the Upper San Francisco Estuary (ver. 3.0, March 2025)
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 in August through September, 2022; October of 2023; and in September, 2024 as a part of a multi-year study of Suisun Dredging and Fish Distribution (SDFD). This data release includes...
Acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) data collection of water flow at Benicia Bridge, 2004
This data release contains acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data used in generating a model of sediment flux through Carquinez Strait, CA at Benicia Bridge. The ADCP outputs binary data files containing measurement scheme, location, time, velocity, backscatter, boat heading, depth, and other parameters. There are two forms of data provided, one collected from two transects along...
Acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) transect data at Benicia Bridge and Mallard Island, 2019
Field observations of water and suspended-sediment fluxes were conducted at Benicia Bridge and Mallard Island during the 2019 water year wet season to capture suspended-sediment flux during elevated Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta discharge. Measurements occurred on two occasions: 1) 26th of February 2019 at Benicia Bridge and Mallard Island, following a storm event that increased delta...
Continuous water-quality and suspended-sediment transport monitoring in San Francisco Bay, California, water years 2020–21
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has continuously monitored real-time water quality and suspended-sediment transport in San Francisco Bay (the Bay) since 1989 as part of a multi-agency effort (see “Acknowledgments” section) to address estuary management, water supply, and ecological concerns. The San Francisco Bay area is home to millions of people and biologically diverse marine and...
