Summary

The dataset is composed of two data tables containing information from electrofishing surveys conducted in streams of the Adirondack region. The first data table contains information on the sampled reaches and the second data table contains fish collection information. Historical data (1979-1999) were collected by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and contemporary data (2020) were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Purpose

Streams were surveyed in 2020 to replicate historical surveys conducted by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (mainly in 1979 and 1999). Together, these three discrete snapshots in time (each separated by approximately 20 years) can be used to evaluate changes in stream fish assemblages following reductions in acid deposition resulting from the Clean Air Act Amendments in 1990 and other regulations.
