WHAT WAS THE DATABASE DESIGNED TO DO? The purpose of this database is to support the Department's fishery restoration planning objectives. It will provide a central, readily accessed location for all the Biological Inventory data with links to the corresponding in-stream habitat data and watershed reports collected and produced in the early 1990's. "This is considered "baseline" information that provides a general assessment of fish presence, distribution and habitat utilization within a stream. It is essential to know what fish species exist within a stream and particularly the status of "target" species. The upstream range of adult spawners and juveniles is important information for planning habitat enhancement work within a stream. Relative abundance of a species may suggest trends in past or future population numbers. Age classes of juveniles may indicate the quality of summer and winter nursery areas. The amount of habitat being utilized or not being utilized by adults and juveniles is useful information for determining habitat problems and potential solutions." Even though the data are not designed to estimate fish abundance, the statement about "Relative abundance of a species" above was left in. It is possible that the data could supply useful information about relative abundance between year-classes of a species. HOW WAS THE DATABASE DESIGNED TO BE USED, AND BY WHOM? The dataset was designed to be used by CDFW biologists and watershed planners. It could also be useful for other CDFW activities such as timber harvest planning and streambed alteration permitting. CDFW cooperators, both public and private (e.g., NOAA Fisheries, local watershed groups) could find the data useful. Biological inventory data combined with in-stream habitat data can be used to locate habitat occupied by various life-stages of fish, evaluate the need for habitat restoration projects in a watershed and to evaluate the need for additional sampling and monitoring both before and after a project is completed.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Biological Inventories dataset contains data from nine years of stream biological inventory data based on the methodology originally described in the California Department of Fish & Wildlife's California Salmonid Stream Restoration Manual (Gary Flosi and Forrest Reynolds 1991).The 1998 version is now available on-line at http://www.dfg.ca.gov/nafwb/pubs/manual3.pdf . TIME PERIOD COVERED. The time period represented is October 10 1988 to September 20 1996. However, 99% of the records are from the years 1990 - 1995 (1988 and 1989 3 records each, 1996 one record). The usual field survey period is from June into November. GEOGRAPHIC EXTENT OF THE RECORDS. Surveys were conducted within streams of the Eel River Watershed and nearby coastal streams. The streams are located in central to Southern Humboldt County, Mendocino County with one stream extending into South-western Trinity County. NUMBER OF RECORDS. The data represents 748 surveys on 245 streams. BASE DATA STRUCTURE. The dataset consists of a shapefile created by routing stream sections inventoried onto 1:24,000 routed hydrography created by California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for the North Coast Watershed Assessment Program (NCWAP), 2003. To reduce attribute table size, location information including legal description, latitude/longitude and UTM coordinates are replaced by LLID (a stream identifier based on a concatenation of latitude and longitude at the stream mouth). Using LLID with DIST (distance upstream from the stream mouth) any location along the stream can be found. No database structure. The entire data set is a single flat file. Primary key field for future relationships with supporting and ancillary data is LLID. Secondary key is REACH. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS. Each record represents a stream biological inventory on a section of stream averaging 80 feet in length but varying up to 630 feet. All of the 748 surveys were by electrofishing except for 24 that were based on stream bank observations. Location, numbers of fish of each species observed with some year-class information and certain habitat information is provided. Anadromous fish are primarily represented in these surveys in early life stages (young of the year to 2 years old). Adult salmon and steelhead are sampled in separate "spawner surveys". The inventories were typically conducted following In-stream Habitat Surveys from the same year. In about 56% of the cases, the corresponding electronic habitat data were located so that a "relate" by stream reach is possible. Additional file searches and reference to original field data sheets are needed to increase the usefulness of these data. The records are sorted by year, stream name and distance to facilitate use and symbolizing of the data.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
