Summary

This USGS data release documents coarse ranges for 123 fish species in the conterminous United States for level 8 hydrologic units from the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD). These range maps were derived by combining known fish occurrence information from four data sources: point occurrences from the Aquatic Gap Analysis Project (AGAP) fish database, point occurrences from the IchthyMaps dataset, point occurrences from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), and HUC-8 level range maps developed by NatureServe. Data can be linked to geospatial units of the WBD using the HUC8 field. Data are provided in comma separated value (CSV) and zipped Parquet file formats. Parquet file format is provided to help facilitate faster [...]

Purpose

These coarse species ranges were developed to support the U.S. Geological Surveys Aquatic Gap Analysis Project (AGAP): Fluvial Fish Native Distributions for the Conterminous United States using the NHDPlusV2.1 and Boosted Regression Tree Models (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9YX3EX6) analysis. Specifically, these coarse ranges were developed to geographically constrain distribution modeling efforts of fishes throughout the conterminous United States for fish species not currently represented in the dataset Native Ranges of Freshwater Fishes of North America (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9C4N10N).
