Abstract

PLEASE NOTE: This dataset has been superseded by the 'Freshwater fish surveys (NFPD)' dataset and is now Retired. As of March 2020 All data formerly available in 'Freshwater Fish Counts for all Species, all Areas and all Years' is now available from the new dataset. The abstract below provides a historical reference for 'Freshwater Fish Counts for all Species, all Areas and all Years' at the point of retirement. National Fish Populations Database (NFPD): Freshwater Fish Counts for all Species for all Areas and all years. This is for Approval for Access product AfA347. NFPD consists of information collected from fisheries monitoring work on rivers, lakes and transitional and coastal waters (TraC). This monitoring work is undertaken by the Environment Agency. This particular dataset reports fish counts per run, total fish counts, Carle and Strub population estimates for quantitative surveys and log abundance data (where applicable) for ALL Species (including hybrids) caught on each freshwater survey for all areas and years. Site and survey information and surveys where zero fish were recorded are also included. Note: The initial version of this dataset (published February 2016) did not contain Carle and Strub population estimates for quantitative surveys or surveys where zero fish were recorded.
