Description

This dataset was created during the PinkSIES project. It consists of data collected during a fishing survey of pink salmon juveniles in Iceland in mid-May 2022 with measurements of fork length and wet mass of a subsample of fish captured. The juveniles were kept frozen in plastic bags before measurements. At the lab, the thawed fish were measured in length (to the nearest mm below) and weight to 1 mg.

The data have been already published in a paper in the Journal of Fish Biology with open access (Evidence of successful recruitment of non-native pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha in Iceland; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jfb.15556).

The authors kindly request to cite the above paper, if you want to reuse the data.  

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 101026030
