Description
1. DESCRIPTION
1.1. THE SUDOANG PROJECT
The SUDOANG project aims at providing common tools to managers to support eel conservation in the SUDOE area (Spain, France and Portugal).
Three main datasets have been used to implement EDA.
- A database of rivers and their attributes along with tools for chaining.
- A database of dams.
- A database of electrofishing (current dataset).
Electrofishing data include site locations, fishing operations which can be done several times at one site, and fish data collected during each operation. The operations are attached to stretches of river or river segments whose characteristics describe the conditions for presence, density, size structure, or silvering rate of the eels.
The electrofishing operation are classified by type, com full two pass fishing, coa full two pass electrofishing for eel, iaa eel abundance point sampling, ber bank sampling gm point fishing for large streams oth other, or unspecified.
1.2. TEMPORAL SCOPE
From 1985 to 2018, beware incomplete dataset after 2015 in France.
1.3. GEOGRAPHICAL RANGE
The SUDOE area including Iberian Peninsula and France.
