Methods
"We collected fish samples to represent the species composition and proportional abundance of the assemblage at each site. Fish were sampled by electrofishing 100-m stretches (200350 V, 23 A, fully rectifiedtriphasic DC), following the CEN standard (CEN2003)." "All fishes stunned were collected with nets, anaesthetised with tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222), identified to species, counted, measured (fork length in mm) and then returned to the stream." [Extracted from Benejam et al., 2010] Additional: this dataset contains fish abundances at 10 sites each monitored between 14 and 17 years from 2001 to 2017.Each site was monitored between one to four times a year depending on the year. Unit of abundance=counts, unit of biomass= fork length in mm.
