Abundance, Biomass, and Density Data for Fishes and Amphipods in Prairie Pothole Region Wetlands in 2019 and 2020
June 24, 2024
This dataset includes information from 59 prairie pothole wetlands in Minnesota, collected in 2019 and 2020. The data includes wetland characteristics (e.g., size, depth, plant biomass, and water quality), multiple fish metrics, and multiple amphipod metrics. The amphipod species include Gammarus lacustris and Hyalella azteca. There are 22 species of fish recorded.

Fish invasion of prairie pothole wetlands reduces amphipod abundance, a key vertebrate forage
Fishes have spread into previously fishless wetlands, likely affecting other species. In the Prairie Pothole Region of North America, the invasion of fish into wetlands is facilitated by interactions of altered land use, climate, and hydrology. We aimed to understand the effects of fishes on amphipods, which are macroinvertebrates that vertebrates rely on as forage. We hypothesized the presence an
