National Capital Region Network Biological Stream Survey Fish Data
NPS - National Capital Region Inventory and Monitoring Program. 2011. National Capital Region Network Biological Stream Survey Fish Data. National Capital Region Inventory and Monitoring Program, Washington, DC
Fish and water chemistry data collected as part of the NCRN Biological Stream Monitoring Protocol. All data were collected during the Summer sampling season. In 2005, the National Capital Region Inventory and Monitoring Network (NCRN) initiated a long-term water quality and quantity monitoring program, funded in part by the National Park Service Water Resources Division. The Biological monitoring portion of the program is carried out every 6 years at 37 sites within 10 of the NCRN parks. The data collected using this protocol will provide much needed baseline information on the stream biological resources in the NCRN, particularly in terms of community structure and composition. The information will also be used to determine long term trends in community composition, as well as trends in the abundance and distribution of individual species.
