The data support a study that surveyed the spatial and temporal distribution of salmon eDNA in Seattle urban creeks, Washington, 2018 - 2020. The metadata represent qPCR quantification cycle (Cq) values for Chinook salmon, coho salmon, and coastal cutthroat trout assays performed on water samples collected on specific days at specific sites on Thornton Creek, Taylor Creek, and Mapes Creek, which are tributaries of Lake Washington within Seattle city limits. The metadata also includes latitude and longitude for each site and Y-intercept and slope for each assay run.

This dataset represents habitat measurements and fish sampling (https://data.kingcounty.gov/Environment-Waste-Management/Fish-data-for-Juvenile-Pacific-salmonid-habitat-us/hznk-dan4) from the Snoqualmie and Green rivers in the Puget Sound region of Washington State, USA. Using a cataraft mounted with a boat electrofisher, these data were collected between late winter and late spring from 2016 through 2022. Measurements were of 25-m-long transects along six different edge habitat types in the two rivers. The edge habitats represented in this dataset are ‘armored banks’, ‘biorevetment banks’, ‘unarmored banks’, ‘bars’, ‘backwaters’, and ‘side channels’. These data were collected as part of monitoring of eight habitat restoration or bioengineered bank stabilization projects in the Snoqualmie and Green rivers, along with three more general studies of fish-habitat relationships in the two rivers. These data are analyzed and presented in the journal article “Juvenile Pacific salmonid habitat use in two Puget Sound lowland Rivers”, published in the Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (https://afspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tafs.10457). All data were collected by the King County Water and Land Resources Division, Science and Technical Support Section. Habitat data were collected during the day and include measurements of the width of low-velocity habitat (≤ 0.45m/s) and water depth along each transect. Fish sampling occurred after darkness fell the evening following habitat data collection. Fish data include the number of each species sampled at each transect and the number of seconds each transect was electrofished.

This archive information package contains fish presence and stream habitat data collected in southeast Alaska, between May 2017 and October 2020 to identify anadromous fish stream habitat. During this time the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Habitat Section staff completed 1,051 stream surveys in remote and urban areas, using backpack electrofisher, fish traps, clinometers, tape measures, and rangefinder/hypsometer. Data collected include fish species presence, notable fish habitat features, substrate characteristics, fish barriers, and other additional notes. These data are provided in both Excel spreadsheet and ESRI shapefile formats.

This dataset contains environmental DNA (eDNA) concentrations and spawning adult abundances for sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in Hansen Creek, a small tributary in the Wood River watershed, southeast Alaska, USA. We took temporally- and spatially-replicated eDNA samples during the spawning period (mid-July through August), along with fish counts (live, naturally dead, and killed), dissolved oxygen (DO), discharge, and temperature data at each time of sampling. Samples were collected at each site before adults entered the stream, and then continued to be collected daily or every other day for the next three weeks.

Juvenile coho salmon seek slow velocity areas as rivers rise during storm events. Studies have shown significant increase in juvenile coho salmon growth and survival when they have access to slow water refuge in off-channel ponds during these storms. In addition, off channel features also provide habitat for several other animals including reptiles, amphibians and numerous bird species. In 2014, Humboldt Redwood Company (HRC) identified an abandoned overflow channel that had the potential to become off channel habitat in Lawrence Creek located within the Van Duzen River watershed and asked the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to partner on the project. NMFS conducted the physical surveys, created the design, and a small competitive internal grant from NOAA provided funding for part of the project construction. HRC worked on the permits, donated heavy equipment and operators as well as several large logs with root wads to build the instream structures.

Field estimates of the abundance of rainbow trout in Washington and British Columbia were collected in concert with environmental DNA samples (eDNA) to evaluate if eDNA copy numbers correlated with abundance of trout. In addition, stream habitat data including channel units (pools, riffles), substrate, large woody debris, among others, were collected at sites.
