For over 25 years citizen scientists and Dr. William O. McLarney working frist with the Little Tennessee Watershed Association and later with the Land Trust for the Little Tennessee have been providing a comprehensive view of the fish species diversity and by extension stream health through their Index of Biotic Integrity Surveys. This dataset provides both tabular data as well as a comprehensive database built in a relational database framework. Data include information on tables provide data on survey sites survey episodes fish species observations and fish species characteristics (sensitivity trophic guilds etc). Freswater fish sampling methods include Dip Netting Dip Netting & Seining Electrofisher & Dip Netting Electrofisher & Seining Electrofisher Dip Netting & Seining Haul Seining Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NACitation(s)
