Summary

Executive Summary: Fisheries data compilation efforts for this project fell within two large watersheds in Arizona; the Verde River watershed (Desert LCC) and the Little Colorado River watershed (Southern Rockies LCC). We divided the project into two phases; 1) data compilation for the Arizona Game and Fish Fisheries Information Systems (FINS) and 2) a demonstration of FINS through model development and species distribution data. During phase 1, we compiled, cleaned, assigned National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) reach codes to historical data for 113,230 fish records in the Verde River watershed and 43,828 fish records from the Little Colorado River watershed. These records were standardized to meet the Arizona Game and Fish Department [...]

Purpose

Produce a defensible data set and decision tool for the conservation of fish and other aquatic and riparian species in Arizona by synthesizing and refining fisheries data and models at the watershed scale, including information on species distribution and abundance and landscape-scale species distribution models. Information collected will be used as part of Arizona Game and Fish Department’s and the Western Governors’ Association Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool (CHAT) and set the foundation on which managers can assess the impacts of water use, biological invasions, and climate change on biological resources in Arizona. Provide expertise and personnel to New Mexico to create similar models for shared Species of Greatest Conservation Need.
