Citation

Coeck J, Brosens D, Desmet P (2021). Depletion fishing in the rivers Grote Nete and Kleine Nete in Flanders, Belgium. Version 16.4. Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/zan6uj accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-10-03.

Description

The dataset contains the total catch number and total weight of the catch of fish species which has been electrofished in the rivers "Grote Nete" and "Kleine Nete" in Belgium. The scope of the project was to make an inventory of fish species abundance and density in both rivers. The data were used to make a red list of fish species in Flanders.

Purpose

This dataset is a subset of a historical dataset used to make an atlas of fish in Flanders.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

This dataset is a subset of an historical dataset used to make an atlas of fish in Flanders

Sampling

Wading hand held DC electric fishing. Dipnets and electrodes were used.

Quality Control

Checked

Method steps

  1. The recorder wades through the river holding one of the two electrodes. The recorder follows a traject against the current. All catched fish was measured and weighted.
