Summary

This dataset contains data collected on various vessel operations on the Great Lakes and their connecting channels, primarily the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, Detroit River, and western Lake Erie, although other locations have been sampled and included in this dataset. This dataset contains the field variables, environmental conditions, larval catches (numbers), larval fish identifications, and associated auxiliary information with the sampling locations.

Purpose

The data were collected to assess fish early-life history phenology, including larval fish drift and community composition of the sampled water bodies. Appropriate use of these data include species presence/absence, species phenology, species density, and comparisons over time and between sampled water bodies, provided the specific methods of collection and laboratory processing are appropriately comparable.
