Summary

Data includes fish abundance and habitat data collected at ten sites in the Sandusky River, OH. Fish were collected using two 3.67 m long hoop nets with an initial hoop diameter of 0.91 m. Nets were set perpendicular to the current, opening toward the shoreline. Nets were set for approximately 24 hours and catch rates for each set were defined as the number of fish caught in the two hoop nets per 24-hour sampling period. Fish were identified to species, measured for total length (mm), and released. Water quality was taken daily at each site at approximately the same time of day with a YSI Exo2 multiparameter sonde. Physical habitat data was recorded at the start of each trial. Vegetation coverage was characterized by type of vegetation [...]

Purpose

Data was originally collected to assess bait and algae as an attractant for grass carp as a control method for resource managers. The data can be used to analyze the success of the bait and algae as an attractant for invasive species. The dataset can also be used to continue to analyze fish assemblage and habitat shifts throughout the Sandusky River post-dam removal.
