Purpose

Products were developed to provide resource managers information on the distribution of species throughout the United States, to identify the landscape level drivers of those distributions, and to support a national protected areas assessment of the protection status of these fishes. These species distribution models support the Aquatic Gap Analysis Project (AGAP). The mission of AGAP is to provide data and analyses to support the conservation of aquatic species and their habitats. AGAP aims to mobilize expertise, synthesize existing data, and generate new data and products at various spatial scales to answer complex questions. Modeling aquatic species distributions across the nation on a consistent spatial framework allows us to 1) highlight aquatic systems needing protection; 2) identify the natural ecological potential of high quality habitats to support aquatic diversity; 3) identify systems under threat; and to 4) inform species- or habitat-specific management strategies.

Rights

Unless otherwise stated, all data, metadata and related materials are considered to satisfy the quality standards relative to the purpose for which the data were collected. Although these data and associated metadata have been reviewed for accuracy and completeness and approved for release by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the display or utility of the data for other purposes, nor on all computer systems, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.
