Community composition data for assessing fish populations in headwater streams of the Adirondack Mountains, New York, USA
October 5, 2016
Community composition data for assessing fish populations in headwater streams of the Adirondack Mountains, New York, USA. Data were collected to assess fish communities and estimate population size and biomass for each species at each sampling site. All data collected from western portion of Adirondack Park or immediately adjacent to it. Each row represents one individual fish. This spreadsheet contains 11 columns. The first 7 columns describe the data (year collected, local site ID, stream name, latitude, longitude, USGS site number, and electrofishing pass number) and the remaining 4 columns describe each individual fish (common name, scientific name, total length (mm) and weight (g)).

Efficacy of environmental DNA to detect and quantify Brook Trout populations in headwater streams of the Adirondack Mountains, New York
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is rapidly evolving as a tool for monitoring the distributions of aquatic species. Detection of species’ populations in streams may be challenging because the persistence time for intact DNA fragments is unknown and because eDNA is diluted and dispersed by dynamic hydrological processes. During 2015, the DNA of Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis was analyzed from w
