This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for marine, estuarine, anadromous, and freshwater fish species in Chesapeake Bay and the Outer Coasts of Maryland and Virginia. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distribution, concentration areas, spawning areas, nursery areas, and migration runs. Species specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer.
