This dataset includes two folders of spatial data associated with the Petawawa River. The folder Petawawa_River includes five files: 1) The portion of the Ontario Integrated Hydrology Dataset Enchanced Watercouse in the river watershed, 2) the location of the study sites, 3) the delineated valley segments on the river mainstem, 4) the valley segment boundary locations, and 5) the watershed outline boundary. The folder Petawawa_SiteCAT includes the upstream catchment area for each study site.

This dataset includes information about valley segment and catchment summaries, valley characteristics, instream habitat, and fish for valley segments, sites, and transects along four river mainstems in Ontario, Canada. Moving west to east, the rivers include the Grand River which ends in Lake Erie at Port Maitland, the Ganaraska River which ends in Lake Ontario at Port Hope, the Trent River which ends in the Bay of Quinte at Trenton, and the Petawawa River which ends in the Ottawa River at Petawawa. These rivers vary in natural character, anthropogenic development, and fish assemblages. Riverine sites along the mainstems of all four rivers included a total of one hundred and twelve sites. Sampling on the Grand, Trent, and Petawawa Rivers focused on non-wadeable lower river mainstems, whereas all sites on the Ganaraska River mainstem were wadeable and incorporated a wider range of stream sizes. Sites were sampled between 1997 and 2001, with many sites sampled in multiple years. The study design for the Grand, Trent, and Petawawa Rivers include a hierarchical design where data collection was nested at three spatial scales -- shoreline and channel transect data are nested within sites, and sites are nested within valley segments. In the Ganaraska River, data collection was by site and nested within valley segments. A complementary set of shapefiles for each river supports these tabular data and provides items needed to map watersheds, valley segments, and sites, and to calculate additional variables for sites and site catchments. The metadata specific to these spatial data is associated with the shapefiles and is not described here.

This dataset includes two folders of spatial data associated with the Grand River. The folder Grand_River includes five files: 1) The portion of the Ontario Integrated Hydrology Dataset Enchanced Watercouse in the river watershed, 2) the location of the study sites, 3) the delineated valley segments on the river mainstem, 4) the valley segment boundary locations, and 5) the watershed outline boundary. The folder Grand_SiteCAT includes the upstream catchment area for each study site.

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.
