Lake Huron small fish assessment data

Various gear types are used for sampling, including:

• small mesh gillnets
• fyke nets
• bottle traps
• minnow traps
• beach seines The data is used to characterize fish communities in extremely shallow and under-sampled margins of the lake. It is also valuable for monitoring non-native invasive species such as round goby and hemimysis and providing early indication of recruitment for commercial important species. It includes:
• details of net sets
• species
• biological characteristics such as age and sex
