ORIGINATOR (Owner/Agency) Idaho Department of Fish and Game DATABASE NAME StreamNet DATABASE ACRONYMS

DATABASE ABSTRACT (A brief summary of the data set): Contains regionally consistent data on anadromous fish, including distribution and abundance, natural and hatchery production, harvest and habitat, and hatchery facility information. Also contains information on resident fish distribution in Idaho, information on stream reaches protected from hydropower development, and information on existing hydropower projects. PURPOSE OF THE DATABASE: To consolidate, maintain, and enhance a high-quality regional and statewide set of aquatic fish and wildlife data that is directly applicable to regional and statewide policy, planning, and management. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Agency Mandate, etc.):

DATE RANGE OF RECORDS: 1950's - 1996, present IS DATA CONTINUOUS? (Yes or No): No EXPLAIN GAPS IN THE DATA:   Not all data collected every year.

HOW OFTEN IS THE INFORMATION UPDATED? Annually Updated Irregularly Updated

WHEN WAS THE LAST UPDATE?: 1995 COMMENTS ON UPDATE STATUS:   Varies as data becomes available.   SPATIAL DOMAIN OF DATA SET (Lat/Long coordinates, State/Region, etc.):   Idaho--Northwest United States

BIODIVERSITY KEYWORDS: THEME SPECIES TYPE Species Distribution Fish Bibliography Population Levels/Density   Surveys Management   Summary Data Habitat Associations

PLACE KEYWORDS (Words/Phrases describing database extent & location): Idaho Northwest Columbia River Basin Aquatic Fish Anadromous Salmon Streams Rivers

DATASET CONSTRAINTS: ACCESS TO THE DATABASE Fees COMMENTS REGARDING DATASET ACCESS CONSTRAINTS: Fees for photo copies DATASET CONSTRAINTS: USE OF THE DATABASE:   COMMENTS REGARDING DATASET USE CONSTRAINTS:   DATA ACCURACY: DATA QUALITY INFORMATION (How accurate is the information?): Field data is accurate. Distribution data based upon available studies and biologists knowledge of stream reaches. QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES USED: Data error checked upon entry, experts review of distribution maps, feedback from users. Pick lists are used for data entry or data translation to ensure that coded data items are members of specific sets. Data is grouped to allow it to be reviewed in manageable components. ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY, LOGICAL CONSISTENCY, COMPLETENESS & LINEAGE: Most of the data is organized around trends: a stream segment which is surveyed for a stock, year after year. Trends are geographically standardized on the EPA reach number system. Some data, like redd counts and hatchery release numbers, are very accurate. Harvest data is an estimate based on angler participation and is inherently less accurate. Data extends from the 1960's to present for Idaho chinook; 1970's on for steelhead.
