Biodiversity Science Database – Sampling Site Characteristics

10.25976/ibro-e052

The Biodiversity Science Database is a compilation of fish community data from DFO Science Surveys. Data includes: sampling site, date, fish counts, fish species, and associated habitat information. This database was established to support fish species at risk research through the DFO Species at Risk Program and is used primarily for updating the current status of fish species at risk populations across Southern Ontario. The dataset has been constrained to sampling site characteristics for placement on Great Lakes DataStream; the original is available via the Government of Canada Open Data portal, see Data Source URL.
